[Csnd] Passing args via cmdline

	Hello List, Is there a simple way to pass string variables or macro definitions to an orchestra via commandline? If it matters I am using Csound 5.17 on RPi. My ideal use case is to have a line somewhere in the orc like: "al, ar diskin2 $FILE, 1, 0, 1" Where the $FILE definition is passed via commandline. I could not find a clear answer after looking here: http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/CommandFlags.html Cheers, David

	Thanks Luís! That seems to help as I see the macro being registered on compilation but curiously doesn't overwrite the defined macro in instr 0 space? Is the solution to use --omacro:XXX=YYY in the <CsOptions> and just pass it via commandline?
