Based on Geert's advice, here's my version of "execBelcanto", written in the J language:Is there a straightforward way to emit a Belcanto statement from the Unix command line? (...Or a BASH script?) Eg via (Mac)Terminal?
Not that I'm primarily aiming to control my Pico from Terminal -- I'm just trying to cobble up an experimental interface to the J language (www.jsoftware.com) which I use for preference.
I could see my way to adapting http://eigentab.net/testrpc.htm --but that's got to be a long way round, via html/javascript.
Hi Earthspot,
There are a series of command line tools indeed, you can find them in /usr/pi/release-[version]/bin/. You're probably looking for 'brpc' which executes an RPC call on an agent. For belcanto, you want to call the 'exec' RPC on the interpreter, for instance in 2.0 (replace the square brackets with angle brackets, sorry forum HTML escape bug). If you're using EigenD 1, then it'll be just interpreter and not interpreter1:
brpc '[interpreter1]' exec scaler 1 octave up
Thanks Geert. That worked first time.
For anyone following this thread, what I actually typed for a test in (Mac)Terminal was:
/usr/pi/release-1.4.12-stable/bin/brpc '[interpreter]' exec metronome hey start
--(replacing [ ] with angle brackets like Geert says.)

Controlling the Eigenharp by calling Belcanto from J
This opens up a world of experimentation for me.
