Hi.
I'm using csoundapi~ to send score events from Pd, and I'd like to
make a percussion track in .sco format to accompany, rather than
adding drum sequencing to my Pd patch.  I have my sequencer now
sending tempo control events, and sending p3 in beats instead of
seconds, and now I'm wondering how I can make a section of .sco that
will only play when the Pd sequencer starts, instead of when the .sco
loads.  I initially thought to put the percussion .sco events right in
the .csd, and send something like "run 0" to csoundapi~ when it loads;
but now I'm wondering if it would be possible to put score macros in
the .csd file and trigger them through csoundapi~.  Something like
"event $PATTERN01"...
Any possibilities for something like this?

Maybe I could write all the percussion .sco events as event_i commands
in a separate instrument that could be called whenever the Pd
sequencer starts?
Let me know if I'm not explaining this well enough.
Thanks.
