Hi Michael,

Thanks and welcome!

Regarding questions, I will try to answer in-line below:

> The F1 key doesn’t bring up csound help for opcodes when cursor over opcode
> name

Interesting, I wonder if this is something I had implemented a long
time ago but no longer do. The way I usually bring up opcode help
these days is to start typing in the name of an opcode then press
ctrl-space.  This should show an auto-complete popup that you can
scroll through with your arrow keys to choose amongst possible
options. It will also show the reference manual entry there in the
popup for the opcode, and there should be a button in that popup to
open the ref page in an external browser.  Have you tried this option?

This is a bug. The custom menu option should populate with the entries
added to the code repository. I have fixed this now in the current
development version of Blue

This was working, but the Custom menu was not.  The above fix now
reflects additions to code repository.

It's the Custom menu option, mentioned above.

This may be something I fixed in the current development version of
Blue (available at http://www.kunstmusik.com/blue_2.7.0_dev.zip).  The
zip I've uploaded there just now has the code repository fix. It's
getting close to release time for 2.7.0 and it's reasonably stable
now, but may still have issues as I'm going through and re-testing and
polishing things. I'd say if you're interested and willing, feedback
on it would be welcome.  If not, just wait a week or two for the
release.

Do you perhaps have an example .blue file you could send me to test
and diagnose?


Thanks!
