that mail bounced. it's current employer has his name on a list, but no  
mail contact.

I also agree. this isn't about rendering a score programmed in Pd, but  
working on the score at the same time one works on Pd. And for that it's  
necessary that both things work at the same time and can communicate with  
each other.
One other detail that would be important is also the communication from  
the score to the patch. For example, trigger events by clicking in the  
score, etc.

As I said, this project seemed to me to be nice, and it's also at an  
advanced stage. http://sourceforge.net/projects/inscore/
