Hey Ed, Many thanks for getting back to me about this.
The score needs to be generative but that wont stop me having a good mooch around 'Bleep':) Many thanks for the font and the cpu freq gov too, looks like a vital piece of software. Best of luck with your piece, I know the stress involved with looming deadlines, looks like it will be good though. UoEA is a bit far for me but if all goes well you should get in touch and we should see if we can get you a gig up in Huddersfield where I'm currently based. Certainly sounds like the kinda thing we're into up here.
