Contribute

CsoundQt exists because some musicians and programmers engage for it. We (Andrés. Tarmo, Eduardo, Joachim, Eugenio and many others) do it as we want to use a tool which is our common property. Everyone is invited to use it, too: Without any fee or restriction.

We welcome and need contributions from you, the users of this software. These contributions can be very different. Here are some typical cases:

Did you find a bug?

Tell us what is not working. For this, we need some information:

• What are you doing? Try to explain step by step so that we can reproduce this error.
• What is the expected behaviour, and what is happening instead?
• Which version of CsoundQt and which version of Csound do you use?
• What is your operating system, and which version?

To give an example:

When I select the Hello World example from Examples > CsoundQt > Getting Started > Basics, and press the Run button, I do not hear any sound. I use CsoundQt 1.1.3 and Csound 6.18. I am on Windows 11.

The best place for bug reports is the to file a ticket in the Github Issue Tracker. What you need to do for it is to sign in at Github.
