new releases of muO and Surmulot

* muO is a Squeak-based musical composition environment, with Csound support.
The newest version features too many improvements to detail, more documentation and nicer fonts (it is now built on the brand new 4.1 version of Squeak)

Get it there:
http://www.zogotounga.net/comp/squeak/sqgeo.htm

There is an updated ready-to-go image, so trying it is one click away.

* Surmulot is the system integrating Emacs/Csound-x and Squeak/muO via local TCP/IP.

Get it there:
http://www.zogotounga.net/surmulot/surmulot.html

It is provided for Windows as a plain zip archive including Emacs 23.2 and Squeak 4.1 (two amazing programming environments), the latest Csound-X and muO, Timidity and more (including Csound 5.12 itself). All is self-contained in a folder that can be copied or deleted at will, no change being made to the environment or the registry; this will not fuss with your own installation of Csound, Emacs or anything else. Here again, trying it is only one click away. Looks like I found my sales pitch πŸ™‚

updated csound vim tools (at last!)

first of all i should apologize for the long time it took, but here there are
at last the updated csound vim files.

this is not a proper release (i should update the web page and documentation)
but rather a pre-release for the list.

i guess people using these files know where to put them, so i’ll skip the
detailed instructions. let me know if everything works (or not…)

copy to $VIM/vimfiles/templates

copy to $VIM/vimfiles/macros
http://www.eumus.edu.uy/docentes/jure/csound/vim/new/csound_macros.vim

what’s new?

– general cleanup and minor improvements to the syntax file (csound.vim)
– list of opcodes updated to 5.12
– NEW FEATURE: folding of these elements:
  – csd sections (options, orchestra, score)
  – instruments and user-defined opcodes
  – multi-line commented blocks with /*  */
– the help file is reduced to the synopsis and syntax of each opcode (i don’t
 think anyone is reading the csound manual from within vim)
– minor improvements to the csd template and macros (these you should modify to
 suit your own taste anyway)

TODOs

– keep improving the syntax for better recognition of syntactic elements (i
 need feedback here, what elements aren’t colorized?)
– new features like autocompletion. this is not difficult to do, it seems, but
 i don’t know how it should behave, i’m not sure i would use it myself…
– more?

thank you to everyone using these files, and again, sorry for the delay.

best,
