## readscore

readscore — Read, preprocess and schedule a score from an input string.

## Description

Readscore will issue one or more score events. It can handle strings in the same conditions as the standard score, including preprocessing (carry, sort, ramp, etc). Multi-line strings are accepted, using {{ }} to enclose the string.

## Syntax

    readscore Sin

## Initialization

“Sin” -- a string (in double-quotes or enclosed by {{ }}) containing one or more score events.

## Examples

Here is an example of the readscore opcode. It uses the file readscore.csd.

Example 887. Example of the readscore opcode.

    ires readscore {{
    {12  COUNT
    i1 $COUNT 1 [1 + $COUNT/12]
    }
    }}
    endin

    </CsInstruments>
    <CsScore>
    f0 12
    f 1 0 0 1 "fox.wav" 0 0 1

    i2 0 1

    </CsScore>
    </CsoundSynthesizer>

You can use string opcodes like sprintfk to produce strings to be passed to readscore like this:

    Sfil = "/Volumes/Bla/file.aif"
    String  sprintfk {{i 2 0 %f "%s" %f %f %f %f}}, idur, Sfil, p5, p6, knorm, iskip
    readscore String
