Subject'scheduling' scorefiles?
Hallo.
I have several questions, some of them clearly corresponding to a new
user (like me):

1. Is there a way of triggering score events from within an instrument
(besides the schedule opcode)? More specifically I'm wondering if it is
possible to 'include' whole score files and thus be able to treat them
as a single event.

2. [OT?] Have there been efforts of providing a synth engine (csound in
our case) as (preferably) a netscape plugin? I think I found something
similar on an MIT web page some time ago, but I believe it was SGI only.
I´d be very glad if anyone could point me to resources on the internet
or 'hardware' references.

3. Is there a version of csound (Linux/Win) which makes use of several
hardware outputs in 'realtime'? If not, would such a thing be managable,
especially concerning the dynamic 'real-time' positioning of the sources
(e.g. depending on a 'real-time' input signal)?

*Lots* of thanks in advance,

Steve.

this is hard because the crystal clocks even on nominally identical
soundcards don't run at the same speed - after some amount of time,
the outputs are out of step. its not impossible to work around it, but
its not easy either, particular if you want to do it in real time
*and* with low latency.
