My suggestions as composer:
1) if the work is score-oriented, you can enter events by midi (live or by sequencer);
2) if you want control each row in the score, or a selection of row, is very useful the feature of CsoundQt ‘evaluate selection’ (problems arise when refer to existing ftTables)
3) but to ‘touch the score’ I prefer the 'extract feature', now in 6.10 again ok, in which I can cut time (also across sections!) and make muting and solos of instruments.
4) It’s also possible to write as Widget a snapshot of a mix or what else.
In each case in CsoundQt I prefer my keyboard shortcut, two Function keys, so I can instantly run and stop Csound with a short physical gesture also to modify what I want of my project: a full algorithm as a single dB.

My 2 cents: using Csound in any way in your workflow is bound to create _some_ kind of speed bottleneck: whether it's assembling a score or designing the timbres themselves. However, if you can accept that reality, and yield to it, it can bear fruit. It's definitely less immediate and for sure sometime more frustrating, but working via text directly (I use my own "microcsound" for example) can be rewarding. I recommend a workflow that will allow you to get feedback on small sections: e.g. have a master file and a temporary file that you actively use for auditioning passages. Big picture: the critical question then becomes: how deeply do I want to go with Csound? As others have mentioned, too: Csound as a MIDI instrument (or VST plugin) is a different thing than Csound as a text-to-sound compiler. There's much to explore in the middle-ground, via midi2sco utilites, I imagine. -AKJ On Jan 9, 2018 16:08, "Giovanni" <giovdamiani@alice.it> wrote: My suggestions as composer: |
