Hi all.

I'm just getting into Csound here and I'm working in the command line  
with a text editor. It's great, however, I wonder if there is a way to  
get csound to exit out after a score has been completed? I see there's  
a way to do this with a MIDI file but not the score. Thanks for your  
support.

Hi Edward,

Csound should exit as soon as the score is over, i.e., when all 
instruments have reached the end of their duration.  But it's a good 
idea to end your score with the "e" (end) statement.

Hope this helps. If you still have the problem after this, try posting a 
small example to the list so we can take a look at what you're doing.

Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried putting the 'e' at the end of a  
score and I'm still getting the same issue. Maybe I'll explain in more  
detail.

1. I type csound whatever.csd into the terminal
2. It runs through the score without errors
3. Then it just sits there without returning me to the unix prompt
4. I ran 'top' in a different window and it shows that csound is still  
running
5. I must hit ^c twice to get back to the blank prompt

I've attached an example that causes this issue, although it doesn't  
seem to matter what instrument I use.
