# Hi,
# I can not wait for trying the new Common Music! I think the most
important feature is the ability of both sending scores using ports in
real time and saving scores to a file can be done in the same frame
work. This kind of interactivity is more convenient for composition
studies.
# I wonder whether the new API is suitable for live performances/live
coding. Can one synchronize different sprout processes. For example,
first a drum track is created with a certain tempo. Then a melody line
is created, but the melody must start on the first beat of a measure,
independent of when CTRL+Enter is pressed to apply the sprout command.
Can this be done using a process for ticking beats and other processes
waits for a tick before starting?
# And having functions which can handle both lists and atoms is great.
Matlab/Octave has the same ability and it is very useful and more
intuitive.
# Thanks for your efforts!
