description::

|
|
Limits the number of output values from the given pattern or stream. If the stream is able to output more values, Pfin will terminate it early.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The number may be given as a constant, or calculated on the fly from a function or stream. See the "sequence of pitches" example below.

ClassMethods::

method::new

embeds strong::count:: elements of the strong::pattern:: into the stream.
