Hi Ross,
     I am curious about the reference to Macromedia Director. I have just
obtained a copy of it and don't know much about it yet except what I have
seen it do on the internet. I am going to use it to create visuals for a
cd-rom version of the next CD I release. How are you using it to generate
.sco files? Please elaborate...

About score generation:

I use Java. I find it easier than scripting languages such as Tcl/Tk (which
I have used) and as powerful as C++ (which I use at work). In my opinion,
Java is the most generally useful computer language yet and I personally
find no reason to use anything else except where realtime performance is
absolutely critical. The performance gap between Java and C/C++ is
shrinking, too.
