Hey Listers, I'm still pretty new to PD, but it's probably the synthesis environment that I feel most comfortable in. I've got to write a piece using Csound, however, for my electronic composition class, which has to include at least 100 lines in the score file. Now, being as I already have some random rhythm/note generation patches created in PD, I thought it'd be great to get them to write a csound score file for me (algorithmic composition has a thumbs up from my prof). :)

does anyone know how I can do this? I know how to use [pack] to create the messages that would represent lines in the score, but I basically need an object that recieves messages, and appends them to a text file, with each messages on its own line.

The k_guile external:

...works fine with common music:

...which can output csound scores.

You need to know lisp/scheme though.
