I've now discovered the documentation within csound.h.

Seems like things gets more confusing the more you know. -Chuckk On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 2:06 PM, Chuckk Hubbard wrote: > Hello. > > Here is the complete program, just unzip it all to the same folder and > run ./rat.sh for Linux; if you're not running Linux, either run > rationale.py with the argument smfcsoundtest.rat, or run rationale.py > and hit Ctl-O to open smfcsoundtest.rat. > If you move the mouse while it's playing, especially after the higher > instruments start, it skips constantly.
