[chuck-users] fun dur GetT() rises to invalid type

[Spencer Salazar]

it seems that the :: operator has precedence over the . operator (or  
they have the same precedence and are evaluated left to right), so

noteDuration::myInstrument.GetT()

is being interpreted as

((noteDuration::myInstrument).GetT())

Thus the compiler is trying and failing to interpret myInstrument as  
a dur type.  it seems the desired behavior in your case is for the  
expression to be interpreted as

(noteDuration::(myInstrument.GetT()))

Parentheses should fix up the problem.  this compiles fine and  
produces what i think is the behavior you desire:

noteDuration::(myInstrument.GetT()) => now;
