Also - one other question and request.

Your examples are awesome (and I hope that you will soon add a few examples in the Csound section that show how to use the Trill sensors with Csound Code too.

As you and Astrid know, from my demos and tutorials to your group, my Csound Project Files for my classes and students contain dozens of working .csd files that serve as Bela models of MIDI Synths, DSP FX, and Algorithmic and Generative Music Boxes.

The IDE is great with Csound (it would be even better if it linked to The Csound Manual), but It is great to be able to select a .csd and edit it in your IDE. However, to push it to the Bela, one needs to either - rename it "main.csd" or select all, copy, scroll up to main.csd, select all, paste, and then render/run. As the project gets larger and contains more files and samples, this takes more and more time - and a lot of steps which can lead to error.

As you know, your examples, under the lightBulb icon, display the csound code in the IDE. where it can be edited and the edited version can be pushed to the board instantly - without renaming or copying it to _main - you do this internally or in the background.

Could you please consider updating the IDE so that, whatever is displayed and currently edited in the IDE can be pushed directly to the Bela without needing to copy to main or rename as main and then once completed rename again to save it in ones "collection" or working models?

It would be a big time saver and really improve the workFlow.

Dr.B.

    csounder Could you please consider updating the IDE so that, whatever is displayed and currently edited in the IDE can be pushed directly to the Bela without needing to copy to main or rename as main and then once completed rename again to save it in ones "collection" or working models?

    you can achieve this functionality on your board by creating a file in /root/Bela/CustomMakefileTop.in and placing the following into it:

    ===this code is broken (see amendment below)
ifdef PROJECT
ifndef CSOUND_FILE
PROJECT_SETTINGS_JSON = $(PROJECT_DIR)/settings.json
CURRENT_FILENAME = $(shell cat $(PROJECT_SETTINGS_JSON) 2> /dev/null | tr "," "\n" | grep fileName | sed 's/.*"fileName"\s*:\s*"\(.*\)"/\1/' )
override CSOUND_FILE = $(PROJECT_DIR)/$(CURRENT_FILENAME)
endif
endif
===this code is broken (see amendment below)

    This will apply to all the Csound projects you will run. If you want to apply this only to specific projects, we can figure out a slightly different solution.

    NOTE: this requires the Bela core code to be updated after May 20 2020 (specifically, contain this commit, image v0.3.8a is the first that ships with this).

        giuliomoro. Giulio... THANKS SO MUCH!!! This works perfectly and is a HUGE boost to the workflow with the Bela and Csound. Now... I just select my .csd from a collection of hundreds in a project, they load into the editor and they push to the Bela. FANTASTIC. My future classes and workshops will now be so much smoother (and less prone to copy/paste errors and slip-ups). I hope that you will consider adding it as a standard "script" with future releases of the IDE. - So helpful, smooth, and transparent. Loving the Bela even more. Dr.B.

            csounder PS: after following your instructions and creating the file called 'CustomMakefileTop.in', I used a previous bit of advice from you to copy the newly created file into the correct directory from the Terminal on my Mac.

            scp /Users/rboulanger/Desktop/Bela-Script2PushCSD/CustomMakefileTop.in root@192.168.7.2:/root/Bela

              Perhaps 'CustomMakefileTop.in' should be located in the current project directory and not in the root directory?

              I see what's happening, this is also the source of trouble you are having elsewhere. Use this instead:

              ifdef PROJECT
ifndef CSOUND_FILE
PROJECT_SETTINGS_JSON = $(PROJECT_DIR)/settings.json
CURRENT_FILENAME = $(shell cat $(PROJECT_SETTINGS_JSON) 2> /dev/null | tr "," "\n" | grep "fileName.*\.csd\>" | sed 's/.*"fileName"\s*:\s*"\(.*\.csd\>\)"/\1/' )
override CSOUND_FILE = $(PROJECT_DIR)/$(CURRENT_FILENAME)
endif
endif

              Swapping to this version of the CustomMakefileTop.in script did repair the trills, but sadly, it does not work as the other one did. When you select a .csd file from the project and hit the "Build & Run" button, the previous script would push the file to the Bela (as if it were in _main.csd) - and was a huge timesaver and workflow improver.

              This version does say loading file in the console, but then it reports the following error message:

              Building project ...
Build finished
Makefile:153: *** Invalid/empty project. A project needs to have at least one .cpp or .c or .cc or _main.pd or _main.scd or  or run.sh file.  Stop.

              Hopefully it is an easy fix.

              Dr.B.

              Hmm, that's strange, as it works for me.

              Can you show me the file list for this project and also the content of the settings.json file in the project folder? This file is hidden normally, but you can show it by going to the IDE settings and enabling "View hidden files", then it should show up among your project files.

                giuliomoro It is very curious. Some of the .csd files do work.
                - you select them
                - they appear in the IDE
                - you edit them there
                - you push the 'Build & Run' icon/button
                - They build and run ! Success.

                Others, like the Generative Haiku.csd or some of the MIDI instruments do not
                - the console reports
                Building project ...
                Build finished
                Makefile:153: *** Invalid/empty project. A project needs to have at least one .cpp or .c or .cc or main.pd or main.scd or or run.sh file. Stop.

                AND it is noteworthy, that with 6.15 the following libraries are missing and warnings appear

                  I FOUND IT - I FOUND OUT WHY !!!!

                  it turns out that the filenames can only be a certain length, and even though I was adding a .csd to the end of each filename, sometimes the .csd was getting cut off.

                  if the filename ends with .csd, your script works perfectly! THANKS

                  maybe you should allow for longer filenames (but for sure, I should be more attentive and more clear in my file naming.

                  It didn't matter before, because - I was alway copying the file to _main.csd and so... it always ended with .csd!

                    yes it definitely was an issue with missing .csd: the current file has to end in .csd in order to be run.

                    csounder t turns out that the filenames can only be a certain length, and even though I was adding a .csd to the end of each filename, sometimes the .csd was getting cut off.

                    I cannot reproduce this. Could you try to give me step-by-step instructions to reproduce this?

                        giuliomoro you may be right about the length of filename not being the issue, I might have just been forgetting to type the .csd when I renamed the files originally.
