The CECILIA editor is optimized for Csound orchestra building/testing.
Showing how to build Csound orchestras and scores is beyond the scope of
this document, but the full Csound <A HREF="../csman/TITLE.html">on-line
manual </A>gives all the information required to get started in Csound
programming. Key-shortcuts are indicated in the menus and should be used
as they save an inordinate amount of programming time. Most of the menu
commands are self-explanatory but one should take the time to explore them
as they offer many subtle options.

<H4>
<U>The Opcode Inserter</U></H4>
<UL>The Opcode Inserter is one of the most powerful feature of the CECILIA
Editor. In fact, every household in the world should have an Opcode Inserter.
To bring up the inserter, you use Button-3/Command-click in any pane. A
popup menu cascade is posted and you can choose the opcode you want. The
opcode is pasted with all its syntax so there is no need to hunt for that
elusive parameter number! The Opcode Inserter is context aware so the cascade
varies according to the pane from which you call it.</UL>
<H4>
<U>Mouse bindings</U></H4>
<UL>
<LI>
Scroll window-panes by holding Button-2 and dragging (Unix).</LI>
<LI>
Button-2-Double-click pastes previous selection at the cursor (Unix).</LI>
<LI>
Button-3/Command-click brings up insert window.</LI>
<LI>
Drag Button-1 on panel label to change its relative size.</LI>
<LI>
Button-2 on panel label withdraws that panel.</LI>
<LI>
Button-3 on panel label solos that panel. Button-3 again re-establishes
position of former panes.</LI>

<LI>
Use the Opcode Inserter !!!</LI>
<LI>
Colorize your syntax. When the opcodes are colorized, when you pass over
them with the mouse, the syntax is posted in the Assistance window. Useful!
Informative!</LI>
<LI>
To consult the manual on an opcode, select the opcode in your text and
hit Alt-u and Wham!, there is the manual page!</LI>
<LI>
The shortcut keys for play/stop are functional in the editor.</LI>
<LI>
There is<B> no need to save changes between computations</B>. Computation
is always based on current contents of the editor. Save to store changes
only.</LI>
<LI>
Selecting a word and hitting Alt-f/Alt-b will go to the next instance of
that word in the current pane.</LI>
<LI>
"Alt-minus" on a selected number in any of the window panes will round
that number to the nearest power of 2 lower than that number. "Alt-equal"
will do the opposite.</LI>
