Charles,

What is your platform, and/or GUI (or commandline)?

I'm in Windows, and work with MIDI sliders all the time - and routinely 
display controller values.

On the commandline, printk2 prints a new value only when the value changes. 
(And in any case, you can save the old value, compare the next kvalue with 
it and print it only if changed.)

I use Lettuce as my GUI; through chnexport its easy to display slider values 
on-screen.

With FLTK there was a mechanism attached to FLslider for displaying its 
value in an on-screen box as well.

You can use OSC to connect your sliders to csound. OSCListen return
value is either 0 or 1; it is 1 only if a new message was received. By
testing for this you know when to display the slider value.

hope this helps

I'm sort of going back-and-forth between a PC and a big imac, but
mostly I've been using XP with the command-line.

I'm putting together a real-time piece with a clarinet that will be
processed.  I'm not sure what platform he will run it on, but I'm
guessing a PC laptop.
