Re: list-building performance

Wow, yeah, that sure did it--I'll have to think about why, but I won't do that at 2am--thank you both for the replies.

[btw, noteOn wasn't defined in the script because it's en enumerated type (notice it's blue in the listing), defined by a scripting addition I'm writing.]

this small changes fasten it drastically:

property theList1 : {}
set noteOn to false

set startTime to (time of (current date))
set theList1 to {}
set timeStamp to 0
repeat with idx from 1 to 2000
	set end of my theList1 to {timeStamp, noteOn, 60, 100}
	set end of my theList1 to {timeStamp + 1, noteOn, 60, 0}
	set timeStamp to timeStamp + 1
end repeat
(time of (current date)) - startTime

noteon was not defined in your original script.

Only the fact that doing this through properties is faster.
