Examples

Here is an example of the fprints opcode. It uses the files fprints.orc and fprints.sco.

Example 15-1. Example of the fprints opcode.

/* fprints.orc */
/* Written by Matt Ingalls, edited by Kevin Conder. */
; Initialize the global variables.
sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

; Instrument #1 - a score generator example.
instr 1
  ; Print to the file "my.sco".
  fprints "my.sco", "%!Generated score by ma++\\n \\n"
endin
/* fprints.orc */
        
/* fprints.sco */
/* Written by Matt Ingalls, edited by Kevin Conder. */
; Play Instrument #1.
i 1 0 0.001
/* fprints.sco */
        
This example will generate a file called "my.sco". It should contain a line like this:
;Generated score by ma++
