I'm going to release an open source of a kind of plugin to give RS users access to beautifully notated music from the ABC library... In the folder that runs it I have this set of commands in a .bat file that runs commands in control... It accesses an a couple of exe files and a java library via command lines. I have mac equivalents and will add a separate folder to access if the same program is running on Mac. it has in this file: @echo off REM %1 is the running directory for this batch file REM %2 is the abc file to convert CD %1 abc2midi Smusic1.abc abc2abc SMusic.abc -n 2 -usekey +2 abcm2ps -v -s 1.0 -B2 %2 java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar out001.svg which works really well... I run it from a thread in RS from this line (Sh is a shell): sh.Mode = 0 sh.TimeOut = 60000 ' 1 minute sh.Execute(chr(34) + f2.AbsolutePath + chr(34) + " " + chr(34) + f2.Parent.AbsolutePath + chr(34) + " " + chr(34) + FileName + chr(34)) How do I do this from Mac? Is applescript something to do with it?
