[Cs-dev] New utility alpha release, MakeScore.py

Apologies for cross posting.

I have just release the alpha version of my csound score preprocessor, 
MakeScore, available now on www.xornot.com ( Dr B, if you like it I 
would be happy to stick it on Csounds.com too ) It's a python app 
intended to make conventional arranging for score files a whole heck of 
a lot easier. MakeScore makes score writing fun! ;)

This allows one to use a high level arrange file to specify inclusions 
of sub files with easy repeating, offsetting, swing shuffling, copying, 
etc. It also allows one to use a new file format based on step 
sequencers, and more musician friendly time and pitch arguments. This 
should be useful for anyone, but is especially useful to anyone writing 
pattern or groove based music. I have been using it for a while and it 
does what I want it to, but of course I'm sure others will find many 
bugs. It is not very robust yet, graceful error handling is minimal. 
Please report all problems to me somehow or another as well as any 
suggestions, feedback, criticism, etc.

If anyone gets really jazzed up and wants to help on this, let me know. 
I am a self taught hobbyist hacker so the code is probably ugly. The 
documentation is rough, I would like to know how much sense it makes to 
people so I can overhaul it, and any suggestions on format would be cool 
too. I have a bunch of python gvim extensions in the pipeline that work 
hand in hand with makescore further simplifying a lot of those common 
musical tasks where csound is normally kinda painful, and help on those 
would be cool too.

I have not decided on the license for MakeScore because I want to make 
sure it can be included with releases of Csound. Any suggestions on this 
would be great too.

Enjoy!
