Csound Editor

Csound Editor is an integrated development environment for Csound compilers. Edit Csound files, run Csound, launch utilities and manuals using one program. Csound Editor is designed to focus on the document and not on the user interface, it does not hide csound code from your view.
I wrote this editor a long time ago, but a lot of people still seem to find it useful. I’m not maintaining this program anymore, but if you want to, jusk ask and I’ll send you the (horrible) source files.
If you’re on Linux, try my Csound syntax highlighting for the Kate text editor.
