First of all, tanks for you time and sory my English!

I'm from Portugal and i'm at the last year of theatre college.

Now, my final work there it's about using computers as tools for creating and "play" sound design projects in theatre or live shows. I'm not including concerts or music events!

I've used Max/MSP to make my last sound presentation, and it was very simple and intuitive, but that patch no longer can be used in another or new show... I've to build another for the a new show.

So i'd like to have your opinion about this!

Do you think that Max/MSP is the apropriate programing plataform, compared with Visual C++ to develop a software capable of edit, arrange and play a lot sound cues?

Have you had a look at Theatre Max (

?
I don't know about editing, but it looks like a pretty
capable piece of software for playing and arranging
cues,

i had this working at some point, but I forgot how I did it: how can 

I tell max to open patcher #1 (fullscreen) on monitor #1, and patcher 

#2 (fullscreen) on monitor #2? Just checked the archives, but

use jit.displays to find out about where the monitors are.

here is my typical patch to open a window on a second monitor.

I am sure you are able to extend it to do what you want

You can also check [screensize] object which is part of Max standart 

(whereas jit.displays which is part of jitter). if you want another 

example, check my jit.fullscreen which allows you to move a window on

Ah, right. jit.displays... I remember now. Thanks, Jennek!

Thanks, Emmanuel. I tried to use screensize and offsets, but couldn't 

get it to work. Downloading the ejies as I type...
