<H2>The Score Section</H2>
<B>Tao</B>'s score language provides the means for controlling the instruments
and devices declared and initialised in the previous two sections of the
script. Unlike the score language used by Csound <B>Tao</B>'s script
language is not a set of time-stamped numerical data to be fed into the
inputs of the instruments as the performance progresses. Instead it is
an algorithmic language which allows user specified pieces of code to be
executed under certain conditions or at specified times.
<P>The score language is hierarchical in nature and consists of nested
<EM>control structures</EM><A NAME="1"> and</A> <EM>statements</EM><A NAME="2">.</A> The available
control structures are described in the next section.
