Hi there list,

I was wondering... Does orchestra header code have to appear BEFORE the 
instruments, or is it OK provided it appears outside an instrument 
block? (e.g. between instrument blocks or after).

I'm working on something that compiles a csound orchestra from a set of 
macros, and I was thinking of something like an FLTK instrument, where 
it would be handy if the header code could appear next to the instrument 
code, but perhaps after other instrument blocks.

It's probably only slightly more complicated to work around it if not, 
but I couldn't find an answer in the manual.

Many thanks,

Joe

Hi there Oeyvind,

Thank you - that's really useful to know.

I presume it would be a bad idea to have two separate instruments each 
containing separate FLTK code? Would there be some conflict, e.g. using 
commands like "FLrun" twice?

Of course I'll find the time to try this soon, but I'm at work now and 
unfortunately my job doesn't involve Csound programming... Yet...
