Several score notation languages are available for Csound. These Score Languages (SL) can be generated from within Blue, by using the right command in the External Editor from the ScoreObject Editor.

Where Computer-Aided Algorithmic Composition programs (CAAC, see: https://github.com/kunstmusik/blue/wiki/CAACs-in-Blue) seek to generate scores using all kinds of algorithms, the SLs use a more "traditional and musical" system. With a SL, you can, for example, use note names like in traditional score writing.

Using the External Object from Blue, and using the right command, SLs work well within Blue.

Some SLs

microcsound

The program and documentation can be found here: http://untwelve.org/static/microcsound/microcsound_docs.html

this section shows some of the microcsound language. microcsound

csbeats

csbeats is included in Csound. Information on csbeats can be found in the Csound manual.

part of the csbeats language. csbeats

scot

scot is included in Csound. An old PDF manual of the Csound Manual (1996) has great documentation on scot.

scot

In the traditional musical score this translates to:

scotscore

Caveat:

  • some SLs contain ftables. These must be copied and pasted in the Tables Tab, as ftables put in the ScoreObject Editor of Blue are not recognized and are omitted.

Blue version 2.7.1_test, updated october 2021
