[CM] How to play back the fomus file

[Heinrich Taube]

CLM is built into Grace. look in the Audio>Instrument Browser for the  
list of clm instruments you can load/edit/play.

You can tell Fomus to write a midi file in addition to a .ly file.  
perhaps this is what you want to do?
Then you can play the resulting file using the Audio>Play Midi File   
(ybut our need the newest Grace to do this i think, and ive not built  
it on windows yet)
