Hi

I've been learning to write music with Csound and C programming languages.
During a performance I would need to launch a Csound script to play a
selection of sounds. Each new script will be of similar design as the
previous except I would need it be able to have access to a new collection
of sound to perform the next song. Can scripts be designed which can be
launched to "rewrite" text within a script in this case audio file names? 
I was basically wondering what sort of concepts/methods exist for what Im
trying to achieve here.

Thank you for reading

The most versatile way to do this would be using the Csound API. You
can use C to call Csound whenever you like. The other way to do it
would be to write a simple program that uses a system call to launch
Csound. This can be done in any number of programming languages. If
you're interested, the floss manual shows examples of using the Csound
API.

Just to chime in with something likely to fall far outside what you want:
I recently wrote som octave/Matlab scripts that call csound as a system() call. I had data in octave that I wrote to a wave file (wavwrite()) and then had csound read that file with diskin2 by setting the file name argument to diskin2 as a orchestra macro ($INFILE) and had that macro defined in the system call to csound as a command line flag; system('csound -d -W -o out file.wav --omacro:INFILE=infile.wav')

That way I could perform a pretty decent job of combined octave analysis and csound audio manipulation. Batch wise, no less!

Regards,
Anders

Okay, interesting :)...could an API prevent me from using the method
headless?

You could do it with the API by creating a Csound object and then
compiling it with the options you want. But using a system call is
probably the most straight forward way of doing it if you are new to
C. That's probably a good place to start.

Rory.

p.s. It seems that I answered an earlier mail of yours in the wrong
thread, apologies for the confusion.

Ah okay so its an 'application' thats taking a instance of Csound and I guess
I could give Csound messages to switch to different functions/scripts I
guess of Csound to play a new song? ....Could these messages potentially an
assigned OSC message?

Oh Don't worry there wasn't too much of a confusion :)

Yes, you can use your application to launch any number of Csound
instruments, in sequence or simultaneously. OSC shouldn't be a problem
either.
