Tao's Synthesis Language in Detail
The Init Section
Control Structures
The Score Section
Tao's score language provides the means for controlling the instruments and devices declared and initialised in the previous two sections of the script. Unlike the score language used by Csound Tao's script language is not a set of time-stamped numerical data to be fed into the inputs of the instruments as the performance progresses. Instead it is an algorithmic language which allows user specified pieces of code to be executed under certain conditions or at specified times.The score language is hierarchical in nature and consists of nested control structures and statements. The available control structures are described in the next section.
