makecsd \- Creates a CSD file from the specified input files\&. .\" makecsd
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Creates a CSD file from the specified input files\&. The first input file that has a \&.orc extension (case is not significant) is put to the <CsInstruments> section, and the first input file that has a \&.sco extension becomes <CsScore>\&. Any remaining files are Base64 encoded and added as <CsFileB> tags\&. An empty <CsOptions> section is always added\&.
.PP
Some text filtering is performed on the orchestra and score file:

\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c

.el \{\

newlines are converted to the native format of the system on which makecsd is being run\&.

.RS 4
.ie n \{\

This creates a CSD from file\&.orc and file\&.sco (tabs are expanded to spaces assuming a tabstop size of 6 characters), and file\&.mid and sample\&.aif are added as <CsFileB> tags containing Base64 encoded data with a line width of 78 characters\&. The output file is file\&.csd\&.
