Welcome to the tidal-listener wiki!

This is a work-in-progress and the below is not yet implemented.

Basic protocol ideas (>, incoming message <, outgoing message)

> /ping
< /pong

run code, get ok or errors back

> /code <id> <source>
< /code/ok

or

< /code/error <id> <error message>

Set a name (optional, doesn't have to be unique)

> /name <name>
< /name/ok

'Expand' an expression into canonical mininotation, ref https://github.com/tidalcycles/Tidal/issues/633

< /expand <code> 
> /expand/ok <expanded code>

Set port listening to replies (if not the sending port)

> /port <number>
< /port/ok

Set highlights on, get stream of active code spans+durations back (or set it off again)

> /highlights/on
< /highlights/on ok
> /highlights/off
< /highlights/off ok
< /code/highlight <id> <row> <col> <row> <col>

get current cps

> /cps
< /cps <number>

set cps

> /cps/set <number> 
< /cps/set ok
< /cps <number> - sent to all clients ?

We probably need a way to add an identifier to incoming commands that gets added to outgoing commands, to help clients match up replies.
