## Objects

A IanniX score is composed of three main elements:

- a trigger is a momentary event set in space; it is activated when a cursor goes past it;
- a curve is a series of points set in space; it defines a trajectory ;
- a cursor is similar to a tape head. It triggers discrete events (triggers) or continuous (values). It can follow a curve or be completely free (controlled by the mouse, a graphic tablet or by another software).

## Add objects

To set an object in space, you have three methods:

- the graphic interface thanks to the toolbar;
- software interfaces controlling IanniX via Open Sound Control for example, through IanniX commands;
- scripts that create generative scores via scripted commands.

## Basic vocabulary

A few simple concepts will enable you to understand the mechanisms of IanniX:

- the identifier (ID): each object (trigger, curve or cursor) has an unique identifier;
- the group: objects can be grouped under a group name, allowing control of multiple objects at once.
