Generating Random Numbers (randint)

Handel provides expressions for generating random numbers.

To generate a random number, use the randint keyword, followed by a range start to end.

Randint expressions can be used anywhere digit types are expected in Handel.

Here is an example of the syntax:

start
    save somerandomdigit = randint -2 to 2
    save somerandomnote = C5
    update somerandomnote rshift somerandomdigit

    play somerandomnote for 3b

    if somerandomdigit lessthan randint 4 to 8 then
        play somerandomnote for 3b
    endif

finish
