With the CppSound class it is possible to pass a csd, a sco, or an orc through the API without requiring Csound to read it from a file.

When Csound runs, you will need to export the files for performance, so they end up in a file anyway, although it can be a temporary file.

Csound writes tmp files if orc and sco filenames are not specified.

Also, Csound sorts the sco, whether permament or temporary, and creates another temporary file that is the _real_ score file that drives the performance.

Regards,
Mike

Hmm .. so if I'm running multiple instances of csound .. these tmp  
files won't conflict, right?  Even if they're playing the same orc  
and sco (csd)?  I suppose if I have to create the files I could name  
them something unique, but still .. just wanted to know how it  
worked.  Its a shame it has to write to disk at all, but that's just  
my opinion ..  probably just a legacy issue.

thanks
greg
