I have implemented support for sending orchestras as line events in addition to score events. This works
with orchestras enclosed in { } to distinguish them from pure score lines.

So, if we start csound as

$ csound -odac  --daemon -L stdin

it is possible to type instruments straight on to the terminal (inside { }). For example:

$ ./csound -odac --daemon -L stdin
[…]

SECTION 1:
{
::reading orchestra, use '}' to terminate::
instr 1
print p4
endin
}
::compiling orchestra::
i 1 0 1 100
  rtevent:	   T 28.305 TT 28.305 M:      0.0
new alloc for instr 1:
instr 1:  p4 = 100.000


Redirection and pipes are also possible

That's neat! But what about instruments that contain multi-line strings?

It should not be a problem. The last } delimits the string and if there is a }}, it’s not seen.

hi victor -

very nice ...

i tried and everything works, but i get no audio output (on linux).

is the example working for you, or did i a stupid mistake?

best -

If you need to supply header constants, do it via a CSD or an orchestra file or through the command-line options.

So the problem here is the amplitude, since 0dbfs=32786.

Hi Joachim,

It's because 0dbfs was already defined to be equal to 32767. Is there a
way to leave the header constants up to the user, Victor?

Anyway, change the amplitude of poscil to 10000 and Bla will produce sound.

Cheers.

It doesn't seem to be working for me. I get "unexpected $end" and
"unknown opcode }".

Trying with this one:

instr 1
ktrig metro 3                           ;trigger 3 times a second
scoreline {{                            ;so it sounds like an echo
            i "Bla"  0  1
            }}, ktrig
ktrig = 0
endin

I do. The commit message matches the latest commit hash in Github. Does
it work for you?

looks like I had changed something that broke. I reverted it now and it seems to work:

SECTION 1:
{   
::reading orchestra, use '}' to terminate::
instr blah
prints "blah"
endin
instr 1
ktrig = 1
scoreline {{
i "blah" 0 1 }}, ktrig
ktrig = 0
endin
}
instr blah uses instrument number 2

It works. Although there cannot be any spaces in the line with the
closing '}}' delimiters, such as:

Svar = {{ Hola!

            }}

I wonder if you are compiling for 32-bit CPU but using 64-bit CPU
Csound.  What do you get when you run gcc -v? For example, I get:

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

And what do you get when you run csound --version? I get:

--Csound version 6.10 (double samples) Nov 10 2017

Yes you are using a 32-bit compiler, building i586 but using x86_64 csound. Try installing mingw64 64-bit gcc.
