You can start Soundscrape by choosing the program from the menus of your desktop environment, or by typing in the following at the command line:
$ soundscrape
If your Soundscrape was built with support for the graphical interface, this will open up a new window for the Soundscrape application. The text-mode interface is documented later in this chapter.
When run from the command line, Soundscrape accepts a number of options:
--no-guiDisable the graphical interface. Soundscrape will boot into the text-mode interface.
--helpShow a list of possible command-line options.
--debugDisplays full debugging information if an error is encountered while loading a soundscrape file.
...Any other arguments to Soundscrape are interpreted as files to load and evaluate. In this way, you can type soundscrape my-patch.scm to load up a file my-patch.scm.
