I’m having issues with indentation in the Sonic Pi editor. For some reason, after I complete the end on a function definition, the next function definition is indented instead of being at the same level as the previous define. Is there a way to turn this off in the editor? Thanks for your help.

define :ca do |\*args|  
output = Array.new(args.length())

```
for x in 0..args.length()-1 do
    output[x] = args[x]
  end
  
  return(output)

```

end

define :pm do |\*args|  
notes = args[0]

```
    for x in 0..(notes.length()-1)/2 do
        if (notes[2*x] != "r") then
          play notes[2*x]
        end
        
        sleep notes[2*x+1]
      end
    end
```

Hi @klynn47 - that’s weird, I’m not seeing the same behaviour on my system.

Could you possibly let us know which version of Sonic Pi you’re running and on which operating system?

Hi there,

yep, I can confirm that this is an issue as you mention in v3.3.1. However, in the latest v4 BETA release, the indentation is fine 🙂

So the problem should be resolved when you upgrade from v3.3.1. Apologies for the inconvenience until then.
