Subject[Csnd] Cscore paradigms
hi. i was lurking at the mailing-list history hoping i would find some discussion about Cscore.
i think i didn't found a better abstraction to play with. specially if one wants to deviate from the standard 12 notes. the legibility of cpsxpch is superb. the thing that bothered me the most is however was the + and ^ signs. which work fine for a single instrument but adding any other (instrument) later, makes the whole experience a guess work. i managed to overcome this by my rookie functions on Emacs (see my last comment here, they sum p2 and p3 and add to the next line or when adding a new note [duplicating a line] etc.; https://github.com/hlolli/csound-mode/issues/34#issuecomment-2906940539). other than that, a tracker style scroll would be cool, so one can check which instruments are playing at the same time with less effort. procedural interpolation for linen or linseg etc. with some [syntax shenanigans] at the score... please this isn't a request or anything. i was just curious what discussion we had on this topic. i truly feel a code-driven approach is the beast on large intervals visualization and microtonal notes, as an octave divided in 99 in a piano-roll or sheet is certainly not pleasant to imagine.
if you have any link to point me up or thought, please share. i'm yet to create a post on microtonal communities about Cscore as a tool on this black and white piano-roll daw world

index is my try on a fugue with the octave divided in 13. i'm having a hard time on this fugue bit

Hi Lucas,
would it help you to consider other approaches, perhaps? Csound can be driven 
by MIDI and it has opcodes to translate MIDI to microtonal notes. There are a 
few ways. Then you can drive a Csound piece from instruments. You could also 
record or write note information to files and read them as ftables.

Additionally, Csound can receive OSC and I think there was another Score 
language that can be processed or converted to classic csScore.

It's not what you asked for. Perhaps it can still help?

Best wishes,

Jeanette
