I fixed it, sorry for the noise and thanks for the help Seb Shader, the issue wasn't the string building

cheers

oh, here's the link to the code in the repo https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/sfizz~/sfizz_puredata.c#L107

So, i have a code that I copied from ceammc's sfizz~ for my new sfz~ object to load alternate tunings. The object loads SFZ soundfont files

All we need is a string into a built in sfizz_load_scala_string function.

The string is tuning name, number of steps and steps in cents in this format "weird\n4\n155\n555\n777\n1111\n"

So I am trying to build this string from a list of intervals in cents and it is failing, but trying the string above works!

The code from ceammc's sfizz~ uses this structure and if I print the string in the code I do get something that looks exactly like a string that gets accepted, but trying to build this string this way fails somehow (while it must work for ceammc maybe, haven't tested)

*char* scale[2048] = "autogenerated scale\n";

*char** pscale = &scale[0] + strlen(scale);

pscale += sprintf(pscale, "%d\n", ac);

*for*(*int* i = 1; i < ac; i++)

    pscale += sprintf(pscale, "%f\n", atom_getfloat(av+i));

So I am here asking for some other strategy to build this string or a way to fix whatever could be wrong here.

thanks
