You could put statements into your score file like:

f 0 1 
f 0 2 
f 0 3 
f 0 4
...

This will print out the progress of the file at a given point - in the above
example, every second.

	I tried this & it didn't quite work.  This was my SCO file:

f 0  0
f 0  60
f 0  120
f 0  180

i1 0 10

I should've gotten progress messages every minute for 3 minutes, but after
an hour & a half, I hadn't gotten any & Csound finally finished writing the
note.  The resulting note, which should have been 10 seconds long, was 3
minutes long with the last 2:50 being silence.  Did I do this wrong or
something?

Thanks,
