Antescofo VS Code Support

Hello everyone,

For those of you working on complex Antescofo scores and missing regular language capabilities in editors, time to move to (the free) VS Code with this extension:

It contains all the features in the Sublime extension + command-click on variables, macros, functions, process and more bringing you straight to all definitions and assignments (even if they are in an @insert) and workspace awareness.

To install: simply search for Antescofo in VS Code’s Marketplace.

This was made in recognition of amazing work discovered at the occasion a Paris Conservatory Workshop on Transmission of “… of Silence” to new musicians.

“… of Silence” is the very-first piece Antescofo was made for and I was hyped to see its extensive use of the Antescofo language in the latest version and inspired by making browsing on variables and workspace definitions (libs) easier. Many kudos to everyone involved on this: @malena , @laurenzi , @giavitto (the maestro!), and ofcourse Marco Stroppa.

:bulb: You can now command-click on a $var to see all its previous assignments or command-click on a ::process to see/jump its definition even if it is in an external file inserted with @insert. Make sure you open an entire folder containing all workspace files.

See the documentation on GitHub.

Version 0.2.0 is now available on VS Code Marketplace

  • Use alt/option+shift+l to quickly search/find a Label in the score: a special search placeholder will appear on top showing you all available labels in the Asco as you type.

This should address a pain during rehearsal on big scores where we need to quickly find/jump to a label (developped live during rehearsal :innocent:)
