(Rick, did you get my sample csound instrument and score output hook? I
remember sending it but I don't find it in my Sent-folder)

Hi, I'm sending this to the Common Music list as well, since this is
really a question about Common Music and not Csound.

;;; You have to something like the following (although maybe it's
already implemented in 
;;; latest CM 2.4 tarball). This variable tells CM what to do after
generating the score file.
;;; Of course you can adjust the csound options to taste :

;;; Standard Csound output hook
(set-sco-output-hook! 
 #'(lambda (fil)
	 (shell "csound -W -d -m0 -o csound.wav csound.orc ~a" fil)))

;;; Then to generate a soundfile do this:
(events #!some-object "csound.sco")
 
Now you have to define some instruments in CM that correspond to the
instruments in your csound orchestra file. 

I see that the copy that I have, and that Dave Phillips posted, of the
intro.cm file is out of date with respect to defining csound
instruments, and it needs a corresponding csound orchestra file to make
everything clear. 

I can post my orc and CM instrument definition files, but let's move
this discussion to the CM list, as this is clearly off-topic on the
Csound list, which is busy enough as it is.

Steven, email me if you need help on subscribing.
