Thanks everyone for the feedback. The align script is only a rough draft. One of my goals is to create a general purpose Python module for Csound score processing.

I can use your help. What types of score processing features would you like to see? I may not be able to implement everything, but at least these suggestions will help me identify useful methods that can be reused in the construction of various score processors, and help others write their own processing scripts without having to reinventing the wheel.

Here's an example of what might be a useful script for someone; A script that converts identical pfield values in proceeding score lines to periods:

i 1 0 1 1.0 440
i 1 0 1 1.0 440
i 1 0 1 1.0 220
i 1 0 1 1.0 220

becomes

i 1 0 1 1.0 440
i 1 1 . . .
i 1 2 . . 220
i 1 3 . . .

A script like this could also work in the opposite direction, converting periods to values. Just let me know. I'm going to be doing this all weekend.

Best,
Jake

WOW....

Just got to check it out. Awesome... will save TONS of time!

Would LOVE to have this incredibly useful utility added to QUTEcsound
- and Smultron!

But even as a stand-alone - it's fantastic, easy, and super useful.

Also, I appreciate the trix you shared about the macintosh terminal in
your readme....

COOL

Thanks Jake....
