I'm happy to announce a new version of QuteCsound (0.4.1). This
release is mostly a bug fix and usability enhancement release, but it
also contains a few minor useful features. One of the highlights is
localization in Spanish, German and French.

QuteCsound is a simple frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
is a cross-platform drop in replacement for MacCsound (it can open
files created in MacCsound), and aims to be a simple yet powerful and
complete development environment for Csound.

QuteCsound 0.4.1 has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option GPLv3.

You can get it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/

There's more information here:

You can download a Quick Reference pdf document in English, Spanish or
German here:

Questions, comments and suggestions can be posted to the main Csound
mailing list, or join the QuteCsound users mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qutecsound-users

Thanks to Joachim Heintz for continuous feedback, translation and
examples, François Pinot for the french translation and Andy
Fillebrown for the Windows installers and fixes for Windows issues.

Enjoy!

[CHANGE LOG]

>Notes for 0.125.0<
[released 2008.12.01]

Steven Yi-----------------------------------------------------------------------

blue

[new] - Added "Process On Load" to PythonObject; allows running of that
PythonObject instance's script when a project is loaded or switched
to; for usage where user has code at the beginning of a project,
allows for that code to load on start so one can just start
rendering from later in the project with code that depends on those
earlier PythonObjects

[new] - Added ability to scale a SoundObject by moving its start time
(dragging from left side)

[new] - Added scaling of automation data when scaling a single soundObject
in Score Mode

[new] - Added moving of automation data when moving soundObjects in Score
Mode

[new] - added 20 pixel buffer when moving start time pointer to more easily
see when dragging as well as when jumping from marker to marker

[new] - Added check of location of dialogs when opening modal dialogs (i.e.
soundObject properties, mixer, etc.) and adjust to place on screen

[new] - Added "Reset Time Log" option to Help menu to reset start time for
time log

[new] - Add Marker action: when not rendering project, marker action now
stays enabled and will add marker at where the Render Start time
is current set

[new] - Added "Use Csound API" option on Project menu to allow easier
toggling between enabling/disabling use of the Csound API

[new] - blueLive: Added "All Notes Off" button which will turn off all notes
for instruments found in the project Orchestra (will not turn off
mixer or any other specially generated instruments)

[updated] - added more buffer size when scrolling score time canvas so block
increment is not as big and drastic when using touchpad for
scrolling

[fix] - Add Marker action: when rendering project, marker was being added
relative to time 0 instead of render start time;

New version of AlgoScore, a graphical environment for algorithmic composition which interfaces to Csound and can control other apps or hardware through MIDI and OSC.

Hi All,

I'd like to announce a new release of blue available at:

http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue

This version has mostly bug fixes but includes one backwards incompatibility concerning automation and widgets. A known work around is described for updating older projects which may be broken. More information in the manual and in the mailing list archive for the blue user's mailing list.

Thanks!
steven

blue

[new] - Added piece "Unstill Light" by Dave Seidel to
examples/pieces/daveSeidel folder

[update] - Added caching of values when rendering live using API so as to
only set the value in Csound if the value changed in the project
(performance optimization)

[update] - BSB Widgets now always emit k-rate signals if they are set as
automatable ("Automation Allowed") whether using API or not;
previously widgets would try to optimize by generating as constant
when automatable but not automated, but this caused an issue with
Csound coding; an object that is set to be automatable makes sense
that code that depends on it should assume it could be k-rate

NOTE: This is a break in backwards compatibility! The known
workaround is to set the widget as not automatable or to update
Csound code to use a k-rate signal

[fix] - commandline use of blue to convert .blue project to CSD was broken

[fix] - "Generate CSD to File" was broken

[fix] - changed settings on ScoreTimeCanvas so that ghost drawing of render
time pointer would not occur while rendering (multiple orange lines)

documentation

[update] - Updated information to more clearly explain value will be gk-rate
signal when a BSB widget is set to allow automation, even if it is
not automated at the time

[new] - added section on breaks in backwards compatibility (Appendix B)

Csound 5.09 was released on September 23, 2008 and is available from
