Hi all,
i'm a bit surprised that i haven't found anything in the archives, so
what is the reason that the period of metro can't be lower than 1 ms?
(it's limited in the source code).
If it's a security thing, so that it prevents cpu overload it should
at least be much lower (or even better, just > 0).

i am pretty sure, it has been discussed already. though, i am not sure, if ever anyone came up with a good reason for that behavour. to me as well, it seems to be a pretty arbitrary choice. ([until] shouldn't exist, if cpu usage, respectively turning pd unusable, is considered an issue).
after all, you could make your own [micrometro] abstraction based on [del], which hasn't such a built-in limit.

Hi, Thomas,
I'm looking at the code right now, and I can't see what you're referring to. Is it the x_clock which is limited?

ok, nevermind I see it now
from x_time.c:
108 static void metro_ft1(t_metro *x, t_floatarg g) 109 { 110 if (g < 1) g = 1; 111 x->x_deltime = g; 112 }

i totally agree.
in the meantime you can use [delay] to build your own metro. frank has posted a patch once.
here is another one.
