.SH NAME
Cecilia - A GUI and programming environment for Csound
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI "cecilia [" OPTIONS "]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Cecilia
is a graphic interface for music composition and signal processing that uses 
.B Csound 
as its audio processing engine.
.B Cecilia
is a completely programmable sound processing tool with realtime interactive processing of soundfiles or live input.
It can also be regarded a software synthesizer with configurable controls. 

.B Cecilia
includes the
.B Cybil
language for the production of complex
.B Csound
scores.

.B Cecilia
provides a completely programmable GUI written in
.B Tcl/Tk.
Parameter controls may be designed for interactive input and for dynamic graphing. The program
can also be used as a
.B Csound
friendly text editor for the creation of
.B Csound
instruments and scores.

.SH OPTIONS
No runtime options are available for this program.
.B cecilia -h
will return the options specific to
.B Tcl/Tk.

.SH FILES
Examples and complete HTML documentation can be found in the
.I $CECILIA_HOME/files
directory.

.SH BUGS
Report all bugs to the
.B Cecilia
mail list at 
.I http://cecilia.sourceforge.net.

>From the TODO list for
.B Cecilia 2.0.5
:

Amplitude information is not displayed with 
.B Csound 
versions later than 4.16.

Auto Rename generates soundfiles with an extension incompatible with the 
.B play 
and 
.B SoX
programs.

The Pvoc Reader window comes up very squashed, needs reasonable default size.

.SH TODO
>From the TODO list for
.B Cecilia 2.0.5
:

- Create complete package for MacOS X

- Merge Windows sources from Bill Beck into CVS

- Use Tcl compiler to create binaries

- Documentation needs to be updated to recent versions of
.B Csound
with a new script to generate the reference database from the HTML.

.SH AUTHORS
.B Cecilia
was written by Alexandre Burton and Jean Piché at the University Of Montreal.
