[Therion] ***UNCHECKED*** Completing symbol sets

How does it work exactly? What is the list of symbol sets searched by Therion? In which order are they searched? I couldn't find references to this in Therion Book (in another quick search).

 

It is in the metapost code I think, not hard to find, but in a rush just now.

For example…

  #CAVE APPEARANCE

  #---------------  

  symbol-set NZSS #if left as default, uses a variety of the following;

  # UIS, BCRA, NSS, ASF, CCNP, SKBB  

  

  #Adopt passage slope 'fat triangle arrows' in favour of default skinny arrows

  symbol-assign line gradient BCRA

  symbol-assign point gradient BCRA

  

  # symbol-assign area blocks AUT # this one is too dense

  symbol-assign line wall:blocks AUT  

  symbol-assign point blocks AUT

  

  symbol-assign area debris AUT   

  symbol-assign line wall:debris AUT  

  symbol-assign point debris AUT  

  

  # symbol-assign area sand AUT    

  symbol-assign line wall:sand AUT  

  symbol-assign point sand AUT
