Hi,

 as I presented it at the ICMC a couple of weeks ago, I think it might
be interesting to you: About two years ago I decided to wrap up all
the tools I've programmed in CL for my music and my live performances
in the last decades into a unified package, heavily relying on
Incudine, Common Music, Clog (for the GUI widgets), Fomus and ATS.

The whole thing is called Clamps and comes with extensive
documentation, fully integrated into sly/slime using the same key
bindings as Common Music.

You can access the ICMC paper and watch a video showing Clamps'
features in action here (I recommend to watch the Video
"26-icmc-vortrag-final.mp4" first):

The docs are here:

https://www.selma.hfmdk-frankfurt.de/finnendahl/clamps-doc/overview/

And finally the Repository:

https://codeberg.org/ormf/clamps.git

There is also an install repository:

https://codeberg.org/ormf/clamps-install.git

Everything is in active development and unfortunately I can't
guarantee that things don't break from time to time, but it might
still be useful. If people are interested I'll probably devise some
versioning mechanism to ensure a certain state of the API if somebody
relies on it.

Comments welcome.

Best,
Orm
