Often, when I am working on something in NRT, it is fairly large. If
the piece I am working on is 100 seconds total, but am working on only
the first 20 seconds, I either need to:
a) render out the entire 100 seconds each time to hear my changes.
b) alter the score by cutting out all events after 20 seconds and
replacing them with the dummy command.
If I could tell scsynth to only render out the first 20, that would
save time (since I wouldn't have to render out everything) or it would
save me from having to manually delete items from a score.
Why do you have to do it manually? Use a script.
The score is an input just like a command line argument is an input. It
should be little different to change one than another. Sounds like you
just need a function to easily truncate a score.
Adding this parameter will not address being able to start at any point
in a score, which would require some score manipulation anyway.
Obviously having a flag to do this would be convenient (though by no
means necessary).
Thanks,
