I remembered wishing for graphics for Csound in the past, and looked up this old post.<br>A year ago or so I got my microtonal Pure Data sequencer to a point where it was easy and usable.&nbsp; Now I&#39;ve been mulling over rewriting it as a standalone program, and I discovered the Tcl/Tk combination, and I&#39;m convinced it&#39;s worth rewriting it completely, so non-computer geek musicians can have one file to click to run it.
<br>So I just wanted to say that I checked again and found TclCsound and Cswish, and I&#39;m thrilled.<br><br>I expect to get lots of use out of this tool now, both for my sequencer and for general Csound control, and I&#39;m just wondering if anyone has any advice or experiences to share using Tcl/Tk with Csound.&nbsp; It sounds like a great combination.

<div>I ended up going to Pure Data for this because I couldn&#39;t find a way in Csound.&nbsp; A normal sequencer doesn&#39;t work for the sort of free microtuning I want.</div>
<div>I went back to Csound to check, though, as Pure Data has some limitations.&nbsp; I like that Csound has the xyin opcode (though the example in the manual doesn&#39;t work for me)... Pure Data&#39;s scalars can only be added by typing.
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>But the thing I&#39;m wondering, that I don&#39;t see in the manual, is whether it is possible to set up drawing instructions for score events.&nbsp; Or generic drawing instructions that could be processed in real time to trigger score events.&nbsp; I see a bitmap-scanning example in the CsoundAV documentation; this would be pretty close, but I would want the ability to edit the picture.&nbsp; Between xyin and sensekey, I should be able to work out a way to give editing commands, but could Csound draw notes in response to mouse clicks?
</div>
<div>I don&#39;t see anything for a) drawing arbitrary objects or b) sensing&nbsp;mouse clicks or releases.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Are these abilities there?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
