As Tim said, Mike and Steven have a wealth of knowledge to share, and you might do some quick searches in the mailing list archives if you like. Besides the Python Csound API Tim mentioned, check out the Python Opcodes section of the Csound manual; obviously these are for the orchestra, but could call score events from within the orchestra. I don't know what factors would influence the decision, but another very simple option for score, which would work with any programming language (imagine brainf*ck->Csound), is the -L or --score-in flag: CommandFlags.html#IndexMinusUpperL in the html Csound docs. -Chuckk -- http://www.badmuthahubbard.com
