Er, unless I have very badly misunderstood something, I thought ihold is
~meant~ to make the instrument monophonic - to create ties, etc;  once
an instrument has been put on hold (via ihold or negative p3), a new
i-statement for that instrument  takes it over ('takes over the data
space'). If this statement has a negative p3, the hold continues,
otherwise hold is stopped at the end of that time, and normal polyphonic
ability resumes for that instrument. 

This is what I understand the defined, documented behaviour to be -
ihold is defined to force monophonic behaviour for the instrument. The
only way to create polyphonic held or legato voices in Csound is to use
distinct instruments. I can't see how this could be changed withought
completely redesigning everything!

Unless, of course...

Dear all,

I have some questions:

1) When I use Csound 3.46 (in Winsound) to generate sound that takes
60 seconds or more, I found that I got unwanted clicks when I recorded
it to my MD player.  The hardware I use is as the following:
	CPU:		Pentium 120
	Hard disk:	Seagate, IDE Interface, 1.6GB
I know that the reason might be the speed of the hardware.  What I
want to know if there is some FREEWARE that I could download to avoid
the clicks when recording to MD player or DAT.

2) Can I use Csound to have a real time performance with live
performers playing the violin, cello etc?  If I can, what kind of
other hardware and software I should have?  Do I have to apply for the
copyright authority?

Any infomation is appreciated.

BTW, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all the happy Csounders.

Regards
Qian Chen
