Is it possible to use if statments, for loops and loops within the  
score?

I've tried without success. It seems they only work when defining  
instruments...

can you give an example why you want it to use in the score?

Loops, yes; look under score statements and check both r statements
and { and } statements in the manual; {---} loops a certain number of
times, incrementing a certain variable each time, and this variable
can be used in expressions enclosed in [ ].
I don't know of any way to use if statements or for loops, besides
using the API with some other programming language.

Thanks Chuck :)

Just as I thought. Bit of a shame :-/ it would be nice to use if  
statements and for loops in the score.

Another quick one

Can "opcode" be used in the score? My guess is no

Well, you can trigger score events in an instrument, and use if and  
loop statements for these events, for example:
IF:


-odac


ksmps=128
instr 1
ktrig random 0, 1
if ktrig > 0.99 then; if ktrig
event "i", -1, 0, -1; turn off previous instance of i1
kfreq random 400, 800; calculate new frequency
event "i", 1, 0, -1, kfreq; turn on next instance of i1
endif
asin oscils 0dbfs/10, p4, 0
aenv linenr asin, .01, .1, .01
out aenv
endin


i 1 0 -1 400
e 3600



or LOOP (for):


-odac


seed 0
instr 1
inum=1
loop:
idur random 5, 10
iranddev random -inum/10, inum/10
event_i "i", 2, 0, idur, (inum+iranddev)*55
loop_lt inum, 1, 11, loop
endin
instr 2
asin oscils 0dbfs/10, p4, 0
aout linen asin, p3/2, p3, p3/2
out aout
endin


i 1 0 .1
e



But I don't know if this has something to do with your question ...
ciao -

It is time for you to decide on a scripting language (Ok, python it is)
to generate your scores.  Even if you just did:

print "i1 0 2 10000 440"
print "i1 0 2 10000 440"

etc...    At least now you have all of the control structure that
you need in your scripting language.  It seems out of place to rely on
the csound score to
provide those things.  It's just a list of floats - although it
does have some minuscule measure of added facilities for the hand-edit user.

To go further, you will find that the event itself should not be
opaque to your score generation program.  There is no limit to
the way that your music can be represented in the data structures
of your scripting language.  Some trivial process can be used to
coerce the data into the simple representation that is the csound score.

I find my psycops library to be the cat's meow, although I haven't heard
that anyone else is using it.  It's just a bit of glue to marry
python with csound scores.

Yeah seriously lookin at python yo generate the score files :) easy to  
do

What's this psycops library you speak of?

The docs are probably weak, but if you go through
the console session example carefully you may
take to psycops:
