oh my god!! did't know that! and was having an alias cs for csound in my .bashrc for a long time tested this $ cs oil -A found orchestra file: ./oil.orc found score file: ./oil.sco command line: csound -W -d -m135 -H1 -s -A -o oil.aif ./oil.orc ./oil.sco Localisation of messages is disabled, using default language. PortMIDI real time MIDI plugin for Csound PortAudio real-time audio module for Csound virtual_keyboard real time MIDI plugin for Csound 0dBFS level = 32768.0 Csound version 5.05 (float samples) Mar 6 2007 ... 0 errors in performance Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 14.108s, CPU: 6.910s 646 4096-byte soundblks of shorts written to oil.aif (AIFF) great! this is what i want ... and i got it look a little more micro! in case i also have variations of "oil.orc & oil.sco"s in other dir it should be cs ./oil -A to make things safe? mmm...but it looks warm than the thing done above oh tested that in the dir that doesn't have csound oriented files and became like this $ cs ./oil -A cs: cannot find a CSD file or an orc/sco pair with the specified name @ ~ $ cs oil -A cs: cannot find a CSD file or an orc/sco pair with the specified name so yes it only searches the ./ that's neat the "thanx in advance" 2g On 7/27/07, Steven Yi wrote: > Hi Tia, > > I think cs does not work the way you think it does.
