I agree. jMax enjoys the on-going attention of its development team (and
others). I wish I could say the same for Cecilia: as Csound front-ends go,
it's one of the best but its development seems to have utterly stalled.
And without open sources no-one can take it forward. A shame.
Ah, we still have HPKComposer !

James was hanging out on LAD for a while, and there was talk of a Linux
port. Nothing material yet though.

No mention of a Linux version on their Web site. Any more details ?

Looks like CNMAT's been busy... ;)
Thanks again, Maarten. I would certainly be interested in reading more
detail if you care to post any further ICMC impressions.
Btw, how was the music ??
