Just some tips on these ones ...

I would recommend you to always use a comparison like this

    if (%CC[64] > 63)
        ...
    end if

for any CC switches instead, especially since half damper (continuous) pedals 
become more and more popular. Otherwise your script will not work for those 
people.

Since you mentioned before that you have some legato/glissando gig files, you 
might also have a look at gig_set_dim_zone():

http://doc.linuxsampler.org/Instrument_Scripts/NKSP_Language/Reference/gig_set_dim_zone_function/

That function is extremely useful for writing scripts for gig format sounds. 
For example your legato/glissando sounds most probably have their alternative 
samples mapped to zones of the "Smart MIDI" dimension. By calling the upper 
function i.e. like this:

	gig_set_dim_zone($myNoteID, $GIG_DIM_SMARTMIDI, 2)

you would force the sampler to pick the third zone (zero indexed) of the smart 
midi dimension for the requested note, and hence you can force the sampler to 
play a different sample to be played on the same key (/ same region).

Obviously you can also use this function with all other dimensions. If the 
region has more than one dimension, you can also call this function more than 
once on the same note, to specifically force one specific dimension zone for 
each dimensions.
