Hi Andres, This small obstacle is easily avoided if one uses the QuteCsound live event controller to create a live event, and then copies the live event data into the text of the .csd file before saving and quitting. In any case it's a simple work around, and it makes sense why QuteCsound would behave this way, as the live events do not change the text of the .csd. The circumstance under which this occurs is if one quits QuteCsound without copying the live events into the score and saving3. The live event editor is a great way to audition different several scores very quickly, and manage them in the same location, and it would be really nice to be able to save the data in the live event controller as as its own separate file. A feature like this could add speed to the user experience, and it could also mean that users would be asked if they want to save the live events before quitting, which could add a little more safety for user data, and could also protect live event data in the event of a crash. I might have missed the save feature if it exists, but in the QuteCsound-0.60-beta, which is what I'm using, it looks like the save feature only applies to the .csd file.

Can you check again, and try to describe under what circumstances it's happening? (I seem to recall in the release version, the shortcut to save does not work from the live event sheets, so you need to save it from the menu, or from the editor). As you mention, changes in the live event editor do not mark a document as changed, so you have to remember to save, but this has also been addressed for the next release.

Hi Dylan, The live event sheets are saved as part of the csd file. You will see them if you open the csd file in another text editor. The only thing that is currently missing in the released version is that the live event sheets mark the document as modified, so that QuteCsound warns you if you close. However, you should be able to go to the main editor and save the file and the live event sheets should be saved along with the rest of the csd and the widgets. If this os npt the case then it's a bug and I need to know. When I meant it is fixed, I meant it is fixed in the main source code, but I haven't prepared a release as I want to finish other features I'm working on.
