I just coded up a simple controller for time signature and tempo that I'd like to include in most of my scripts. How is this usually done in ChucK? Is it possible to write "include timesig.ck" or something? Or is it more complex?

It is possible to include files using the same way c does using c preprocessor, since chuck's syntax is basically the same as c's.

I wrote a bash script that should work for unix systems with cpp installed.
