Dexter, I looked at the format specification. It contains an example:
----------------------------------------------- <CsoundSynthesizer>; ; test.csd - a Csound structured data file <CsOptions> -W -d -o tone.wav </CsOptions> <CsVersion> ;optional section Before 4.10 ;these two statements check for After 4.08 ; Csound version 4.09 </CsVersion> <CsInstruments> ; originally tone.orc sr = 44100 kr = 4410 ksmps = 10 nchnls = 1 instr 1 a1 oscil p4, p5, 1 ; simple oscillator out a1 endin </CsInstruments> <CsScore> ; originally tone.sco f1 0 8192 10 1 i1 0 1 20000 1000 ;play one second of one kHz tone e </CsScore> </CsoundSynthesizer> ------------------------------------- If I understand correctly you want to write the instruments block to a file (from <CsInstruments> to </CsInstruments>)? Right? Or each block to its own file in case there are several?. You want your code to generate the file names? Can you confirm this or explain it differently?
