[Bluemusic-users] questions and request

[Hector C. <h.c...@sy...>]

Steven,

After some intensive Csound study period I'm starting to make some music 
and also starting to use Blue more in depth. The more I use it the more 
I love it! Thank you very much for all your time, effort and enthusiasm 
for creating this wonderful tool!

I'm still exploring and learning Blue and I found that by clicking on 
the Scanned Synthesis Matrix Editor under the Tools menu nothing 
happens. I found in the manual that this is supposed to open a new 
window with a grid but it seems to be not working for me, am I missing 
something? (I'm using Blue 0.98.2 and Linux FC3+CCRMA). Beside that I 
would like to know if there is a way for changing the instrument type 
once it has been created, for example: I would like to switch from 
GenericInstrument to BlueSynthBuilder. I know that I could just create 
the new instrument and copy the code form one to the other but I was 
wondering if there is a way for just changing the instrument type.

My request (I think I mentioned this to you in a previous email): to 
have the option for a window displaying the messages generated from 
Csound. I found that Blue doesn't report errors so if there is any 
syntax error in my code it just won't say anything (is it because I'm 
using Csound5?).

Thank you again!

Hector.
