Re: perl / python, was apspec activity: music for single stack

The other cool thing about pmask is that since its 100% python, if you
have other python/csound tools its very easy to integrate your own tools
into pmask.

Gerald's perl scripts are very cool, they allow him to write patterns in a
spread sheet like excel, and then his program scans the csv file to
generate score info. That's a bit of a simplification, but he is able to
use the spreadsheet as a composition tool for scores.
