No in my example in cakewalk it wasn't a real-time filter(sorry for my not well chosen examples). Here was the idea : everything you can do using the menus, buttons, clicks, midi input events... (like add a note at such position, create a midi track with such a name...) you can describe it in the script, you have in addition, loop and conditional branching. In fact, if you want you could describe you entire song by a script (I believe that it was even possible by using a recording function that writes into the script every single thing the user does). > > >The subject comes up from time to time, and the main problem is still >that > > >we > > >can't figure out what such a language would actually do. > > > > This is indeed an open question and I certainly do not have the answer, > > recently the same question came up in the muse mailing list.

For each single thing the user can do by using menus, buttons, keyboard... a function that corresponds to it is added (apart from the functions related to the configuration of RG or so). > > >I don't think we'll > > >be able to build this language until we see a good use case for it >(like > > > an hypothetical script which would actually do something interesting, >for > > > instance). > > > > The harmonisation plugin would surely be a good case. > >Can you post it here, along with a short use-case description ? I don't have more details about than what Stan Novogroudski gave in this first email. Hope to know more about that in his next emails.
