@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ following example:
```js
'0 1 2'.add('10 20');

('10 [11 21] 22');

They are similar to the previous example in that the number `1` is split in two, with its two halves added to `10` and `20` respectively. However, the `11` 'remembers' that it is a fragment of that original `1` event, and so is treated as having a duration of a third of a cycle, despite only being active for a sixth of a cycle. Likewise, the `21` is also a fragment of that original `1` event, but a fragment of its second half. Because the start of its event is missing, it wouldn't actually trigger a sound (unless it underwent further pattern transformations/combinations).

- `mix` - structures from both patterns are combined, so that the new events are not fragments but are created at intersections of events from both sides.
- `squeeze` - cycles from the pattern on the right are squeezed into events on the left. So that e.g. `"0 1 2".add.squeeze("10 20")` is equivalent to `"[10 20] [11 21] [12 22]"`.
- `squeezeout` - as with `squeeze`, but cycles from the left are squeezed into events on the right. So, `"0 1 2".add.squeezeout("10 20")` is equivalent to `[10 11 12] [20 21 22]`.
- `reset` is similar to `squeezeout` in that cycles from the right are aligned with events on the left. However those cycles are not 'squeezed', rather they are truncated to fit the event. So `"0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7".add.trig("10 [20 30]")` would be equivalent to `10 11 12 13 20 21 30 31`. In effect, events on the right 'trigger' cycles on the left.
- `reset` is similar to `squeezeout` in that cycles from the right are aligned with events on the left. However those cycles are not 'squeezed', rather they are truncated to fit the event. So `"0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7".add.reset("10 [20 30]")` would be equivalent to `10 11 12 13 20 21 30 31`. In effect, events on the right 'reset' cycles on the left.
- `restart` is similar to `reset`, but the pattern is 'restarted' from its very first cycle, rather than from the current cycle. `reset` and `restart` therefore only give different results where the leftmost pattern differs from one cycle to the next.
We will save going deeper into the background, design and practicalities of these alignment functions for future publications. However in the next section, we take them as a case study for looking at the different design affordances offered by Haskell to Tidal, and JavaScript to Strudel.
