[CM] Advice on using snd's (play) from another program?

[Jenweil]

Thanks for your response. I hadn't considered the file system caching for me in this case.

The symbol autocomplete in the listener works great.

One drawback, which might be because I'm on wayland, is that I cannot seem to copy and paste though (I found a similar issue https://www.mail-archive.com/cmdist@ccrma.stanford.edu/msg06431.html).

I also tried to set a bigger font size, but it hasn't been working. I tried:

(set! (listener-font) "Noto Sans")
(set! (listener-font) "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

They don't seem to have the desired effect. When I bring up the preferences panel, font can be set in the "listener options" section but remains "". Briefly, a message "Can't find fonts" shows up in the text box before disappearing.

Perhaps I have misconfigured snd as to where to find fonts? Maybe this is an X/Motif thing, as I am on Wayland.

Regardless, the symbol completion is really nice in the listener.
