Hi,
I've been playing with the UDP Server (having got it working in Haiku...)
but I can't figure out the "$" command.

The manual says:

"   $[score]
Sends in a score [score], to which most preprocessing (except for tempo) can be applied. Use this option for larger blocks of score events."

which would seem to mean that you can send a score's worth of events,
but I can't find a way of sending more than one line.  It will play one line,
but succeeding ones cause a parse error.  There doesn't seem to be
any equivalent of the "{...}" convention for Orchestra.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

I wasn't that familiar with UDP, so I  assumed that packet size  was limited
to something fairly small, but I've now done a little research and see that
the maximum is ~65k.  ...As long as fragmentation is not a concern.

With communication within localhost, it looks as if there's no fragmentation,
so you're right -- 65k is not likely to be restrictive.   Not so sure about sending
across the net.  I gather from StackOverflow that some routers might just
reject a long message without trying to fragment it.  Don't know.

Maybe some bracketing convention would be nice in any case.  Would make
it easier to use things like netcat to send a score as a group but line-by-line
from the console.

Thanks,

 It might be possible to add a multi-packet score command like the orchestra with { }, I can look into it.
 Never thought of scores as being that big. A work-around is to use readscore or linevent and send it
 as a multi-message orchestra.

 Ahh.  The problem was, I've been using netcat to send the strings.
 If I'm typing the lines in from the console, nc sends each as a
 separate UDP packet.
 
 If instead I send a longer score string -- prepended by '$' -- via
 a pipe, it all gets played. e.g.:
 
    cat testorc| nc -u localhost 10000
 
 I guess it's still limited by the maximum size of a packet.

 How do you form the string? I believe if it is somethin like "i 1 0 3 \n i1
 4 5" it should work. Or does not it? Cannot check right now...
 
 I'm afraid that sort of construction doesn't work.  (Tried all that sort
 of thing last night.)  I don't know if you intended the quotes to be
 part of the entry, but they'll be flagged as 'unexpected STRING_TOKEN
 (token """)'.  Including a '\n', (with no quotes) is also flagged as illegal.
 
 Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.
