Universal macros certainly have my vote.  Something like:

# definecsd  sinewave # 1 #


However, there is a way to define macros in one place and have them be used
by both the orchestra and score.  I put all my macros in a separate file,
and then use the include statement in both the orchestra and score.  Saves
me a lot of time.  Here's an (untested) example:



/* -------- foo.csmacro -------- */

# define sinewave # 1 #
# define squaretone # 2 #


/* --------- foo.csd -------- */



sr     = 44100
kr     = 4410
ksmps  = 10
nchnls = 1

# include "./foo.csmacro"

instr $sinewave
	; stuff goes here
endin

instr $squaretone
	; stuff goes here
endin



# include "./foo.csmacro"

i $sinewave   0 1 440
i $squaretone 1 4 880




Hope this helps.

Best, 
Jake
