Hello friends.

I have installed csound-x "plug-in" for emacs (which i started to learn
yesterday)  and it seems to load without errors, it also lists the csound
modes. What i'm wondering now, is there syntax highlighting for emacs in
shell mode (as i don't have a front end installed and running on the shell),
because i can't seem to find anything about it in the documentation and i
have no colors present (i also have no idea what i'm doing and what this
plugin is capable of, as i'm still very new to emacs and csound-x).

Is this Csound-X from Stef's excellent work at
http://www.zogotounga.net/surmulot/surmulot.html  ? 

Perhaps you could ask him. 

But I doubt syntax highlighting is relevant in shell mode, perhaps 
only for the orchestra and score editing. 

Quietly it baffles me why Emacs, csound-X and the Lisp-based
environments are not more prominent as Csound frontends. They're
fantastic, and Stef's contribution has been tremendous. 

His Surmulot and Csound under Emacs worked 'out of the box' for me.
This was Csound from ELisp. (Although I got quite lost in Smalltalk for
a while).

Funny thing is, i was actually writing him an email, the same time you were
writing this post :)

Well, that's the main thing for me - colours - , o love them, from black to
yellow he, he.

Some of the functions i tried seem to work correctly, however there is no
syntax highlighting and i'm not sure that all others work as intended, but
this seems like a wonderful interface for csound.

Well, i finally sorted out the syntax highlight stuff, i just reinstalled
everything and it seems to work now - very colorful also!

I have the same problem too, and the same output. Wrote about it to the
Stefan, maybe he will be able to tell more about it.

I have the same pr

I have this highlighting issue with csound-x as seen on this photo (if it
uploaded correctly otherwise its also here
http://postimg.org/image/cs8a3sv3x/ ).

If someone knows where to configure the coloring issue so text always has
transparent, or in my case black background.

And if you guys know how to compile .csd files in emacs without exiting it,
would be nice to know how, even better if it's possible to evaluate
section/selection (live code).

press: alt+x
enter: customize-face
enter: csound, or cs and press tab, so it will give you avaivable options
for customizations
pick one and press enter (example: csound-avar-face "press enter")
tinker with the options and when you like what you see, press "apply-save"

As for audio output, i have found it in:
press: alt+x
enter: customize-options
enter: csound, or cs and press tab, so it will give you avaivable options
for customizations
pick csound-file-process

However i haven't tried to tinker with it yet, from the looks of it, will
try now.

I don't exactly see what the issue is. If it is the background color, 
you can change it on a buffer basis by doing

	M-x set-background-color
	white

or permanently by writing in your .emacs file

	(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "white"))

That would be customize-group, I believe, or customize-option for a 
single variable.

I managed to get real time sound working in csound-x (with the help of
Stephane). Maybe you have the same problem, so i will write what i did:

enter: alt+x
enter: customize-option
enter: cscsd-OPCODE6DIR (or OPCODE6DIR64)
In the "cscsd Opcodedir" field write the path to your csound plugins
libraries. Mine was:
/usr/loca/lib/csound/plugins-6.0/
press: apply and save
try it out with: alt-x  cscsd-process

I suspect that my problem might have stemed from the fact that i compiled
csound on arch linux, where the ldcnfig command doesn't work on csound for
some reason, so i had to, with the help of Victor L, configure my .bashrc
file to manually export csound libraries. Don't know if this is the main
culprit behind csound-x cscsd-process command not working from the get go,
but the above method worked for me..

I'm definitely interested in your code.

Thanks !
