Instructions for converting Text objects [beta1 -> beta2]

There has been some changes to MacCsound's file format in beta2. If you have any .csd files that you created in beta1 and they contain Text i/o objects you need to follow the instructions below to convert them


+ Duplicate file [beta1 will not be able to read converted file!]

+ Open the duplicate file in a text editor.

+ For all 'ioText' objects, add:
{0, 0, 0} {65535, 65535, 65535} nobackground noborder
before the last parameter [text/channelname].

Example

ioText {45, 16} {156, 28} label "Futura" 12 Minimum Density [sec]

should be changed to:


ioText {45, 16} {156, 28} label "Futura" 12 {0, 0, 0} {65535, 65535, 65535} nobackground noborder Minimum Density [sec]


+ For all 'ioColorText' objects:
1) change the name to 'ioText'
2) add 'background' before the 'border' parameter

Example

ioColorText {296, 92} {46, 31} orc "Skia" 16 {0, 0, 0} {53739, 57869, 65535} border Pitch

should be changed to:


ioText {296, 92} {46, 31} orc "Skia" 16 {0, 0, 0} {53739, 57869, 65535} background border Pitch


+ that's it!
