I think BPM is a preprocessor thing, so realtime events would not
be affected by it.

After exportForPerformance(), you should be able to set
a thread and Play().

The main difference is that perform() does it in the main thread and
the other spawns a performance thread.

Victor && Michael,

thank you both for the clarifications. That's all the info I was looking 
for.

I also found that I needed to pass the file names for .orc and .sco in 
my csound command. I guess they're needed for exportForPerfomance() to 
know how to name the files it writes.

I was using InputMessage() to populate my score with some notes 
beforehand (before calling Play() on the performance thread), but now I 
thought that I can also extract the score with csound.getScore(), add my 
notes with addScoreLine() or addNote() and then call exportForPerformance().

Realtime events are executed immediately if p2 == 0 and after n seconds 
with p2 = n, regardless of the 't' statement - which makes sense if it 
is a preprocessor thing.

Thanks again,

- c.
