How do i make a local variable global across the whole script?

[James_Britt (James Britt / Neurogami)]

Wasn’t that answered here?

Global variables within the "whole script"?

Scope depends on where & how the variable is declared. What you just did would indeed be accessible from anywhere in main.lua - as well as any other file you imported in your tool. If you had declared it as local s =renoise.song(), then it would be accessible_only_within main.lua, but not other files. If you had declared it aslocal s =renoise.song()within the scope of some function, it would only be accessible within that scope/function. So, as you might understand it’s actually bad practice…
