# flCsound Overview

The flCsound program is a simple, operating system neutral, graphical user interface for rendering Csound compositions in Csound Unified File Format. It displays the transcript generated while rendering a CSD file, and any graphs produced. The transcript and the plots are displayed in a single window.

The flCsound program is built on top of FLTK, and its use is governed by the same license used by Csound and FLTK, the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

## Running flCsound

When starting flCsound in a shell, one can optionally provide an initial Csound Unified File by naming a CSD file.

        $ flcsound [csound-unified-file]

On Windows, flCsound can be invoked from the Start Menu, or by clicking on a CSD file.
