Menus
Every job window in the Csound Shell contains
the same set of menus (albeit with slightly different shortcuts).
The Csound Menu

The Csound menu contains two items:
- Environment...
- Selecting this item shows resp. activates the
environment window.
- About...
- Selecting this item shows some highly interesting information about the
Csound Shell.
The File Menu

The File menu offers operations that create new jobs, open files containing
saved jobs, close job windows, save jobs, and quit the Csound Shell.
- New Synthesis
- Creates a new, empty synthesis job.
In a Synthesis window, this item is associated with the Command-N shortcut.
- New HF Analysis
- Creates a new, empty heterodyne filter
analysis job. In an HF Analysis window, this item is associated with
the Command-N shortcut.
- New LP Analysis
- Creates a new, empty linear predictive
analysis job. In an LP Analysis window, this item is associated with
the Command-N shortcut.
- Open...
- Displays a file selection dialog. After you select a saved Csound job file,
it is opened and displayed in a new window.
- Close
- Closes the window in which you selected the menu item. If you made any
changes and did not save them into a file, you will be prompted and given
the choice of discarding the changes, aborting the Close operation, or
saving the changes (the latter option is only available when the window has
an associated file).
- Save
- Saves the current settings into the file associated with the window. This
item is only available when there is such a file.
- Save As...

name, the current job is written into the file you indicated.
- Quit

under Close).
