Hello everybody!

Are you tired of having to manually re-enter a bunch of start times when
moving sections of score code?  Fret no more!  I have a perl script that
saves time and keyboard clicks.  All for the low, low price of free!

All joking aside, I've been using this script for awhile now, and it truly
saves me a *lot* of time and hassle when moving large sections of score
code, or duplicating sections of score code.  Working with Csound has never
felt this liquid to me.

In a nutshell, one pipes score data to timetravel.pl (a perl script) while
specifying the amount of time the code should be shifted by.  For every
i-event, p-field 2 is shifted by the user specified time.

For example, let's say the following score code is piped to the script:

i 1 0 4 1.0 440 
i $sine 4 4 1.0 440 
i "kick" 8 4 1.0 440 


The script returns:

i 1 16 4 1.0 440 
i $sine 20 4 1.0 440 
i "kick" 24 4 1.0 440 


The following is the command-line call to active the script (OS X centric):

$ pbpaste | ./timetravel.pl 16 | pbcopy


More information on how to use it can be found in the header portion of the
script.

Though jEdit is currently my text editor of choice, I was able to create a
bundle function with timetravel.pl in TextMate where one highlights a region
of score code, run the bundle, enter a number into a dialog box, and have
the highlighted code shifted.  All from within TextMate.  

Anyways, I hope this script will save time for others in the community.

Happy Holidays,
Jake
