[comp.sys.next] Scorefile language problems...

I am trying to play the "ClassicalGas" score, which I copied from the 
Lighthouse Designs First Compilation disk. It is a "second version", which 
contained in a README file a profuse apology from the author explaining
that the older version of the score had bugs which he had subsequently
fixed.

When I try to play it, I get a string of error messages from ScorePlayer.
declaring that it "can't find file score1.out" and so on for all the
files that are included in the main score. I looked up the syntax, and
the includes are all done with the right punctuation, I tried putting the
.out files in different locations, making sure they had the right name and
all, and I also tried putting in the entire path name for the included files
within the quote marks in the include statement. None of this had any 
effect.

This is not exactly a major emergency, but it really bugs me that I can't 
seem
to get this to play, when everything *looks* just right. Any suggestions?

Incidentally, here is a listing of errors that I get when I try to use the 
"playscore" command in the shell:

score1.out, pg 1, line 1: A body statement or declaration may not begin with 
;.
part1 (not
score1.out, pg 1, line 1: A body statement or declaration may not begin with 
;.

t +eight;
score3.out, pg 1, line 1: A body statement or declaration may not begin with 
;.

t +eight-0
score4.out, pg 1, line 1: A body statement or declaration may not begin with 
;.


... and on and on. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.
