Here you go! If you don't already have Csound (and WinXsoundPro
frontend if you're in Windows) on your machine, shame on you!

Apparently you don't know about the .csd "unified"
Csound file format, which united the .orc and .sco
in one file.

You have to use a few tags in angle brackets to delimit
the different sections, and save it with .csd extension:

; --- begin .csd template -----

<CsOptions>
; command-line options go here
</CsOptions>

<CsInstruments>
; [filename].orc file goes here
</CsInstruments>

<CsScore>
; [filename].sco file goes here
</CsScore>

</CsoundSynthesizer>

; --- end .csd template ---

Blank lines are optional, i put them in for clarity.

I also find it useful to separate the different sections
of the file with horizontal double-lines ... this is the
template that i actually use to create my own .csd files:

; ---- begin monz's .csd template --------

;***************************************************************************
;[filename].csd
;[description].

;===========================================================================

-W -s -o [filename].wav

</CsOptions>

;===========================================================================

;/* [filename].orc */

;Initialize the global variables.

sr = 44100
kr = 4410
ksmps = 10
nchnls = 1

;Instrument #1 - an unfiltered noise waveform.

instr 1
;

;OUTPUT OPCODE AMP
asig

out asig
endin

</CsInstruments>

;===========================================================================

;/* [filename].sco */

;p1 p2 p3

</CsScore>

;===========================================================================

</CsoundSynthesizer>
;***************************************************************************

; ---- end monz's .csd template ----

BTW, another plug for Tonescape: it can export Tonescape files
as Csound .csd files.

Of course I'm aware of the .csd format, I just think it's not as
useful as the original .orc/.sco format, especially if you're doing
very large projects, mixing and matching instruments and scores.
This could be a habit/geist thing, coming from pen and paper scoring,
I must admit.

It's great that Tonescape can export .csd files, that's an awesome
feature from where I'm standing (even though I'd convert them
to .orc/.sco in WinXsound :-) )

OK, i can see your point there.

I can definitely relate to that!

It's good that that's so easy to do!
The simplest way to translate from one file format to another
is to simply delete a few extraneous lines of code!
