The stack ships with both the 68K and OS X versions of the supporting application "PlayCommand", which is embedded as a set of custom properties directly within the stack. An install button copies PlayCommand to your hard drive where it is immediately ready for use. If you want to distribute stacks built with scripted notation, you can use the same technique and installer scripts to ensure that your users also have the PlayCommand application available.
There are some minor limitations to this initial release; see the stack for details. Even so, it is often possible to play multiple scripted note strings simultaneously to achieve simple chording or harmony. There is an example in the stack.
Because it relies on AppleScript, Shakobox is a Mac-only solution. But since most of the requests for scripted notation have been from HyperCard converts, maybe that's enough for now. If anyone is interested in building a DLL for the Windows side, please let me know.
The PlayCommand application was written by Jon Bettencourt, who holds the copyright, but it is being distributed free of charge. You can get Shakobox at: <http://www.hyperactivesw.com/shakobox.html>
