What is MIME type "text/supercollider"?

A MIME type is a string that tells browsers and other tools how to handle a particular kind of file.

text/supercollider is a MIME type for text files that contain SuperCollider code. This code is used to define and control sound synthesis and algorithmic composition in the SuperCollider environment.

Files with this MIME type let users write source code for custom classes in SuperCollider. The code defines objects and behaviors for generating and manipulating sound. These files are integral to projects that require real-time audio processing.

• Main use case: Creating and editing SuperCollider classes for sound synthesis.
• Additional uses: Scripting musical compositions, designing audio effects, and building real-time interactive installations.
• Functionality: Offers a text-based method to program dynamic sound and music; integrates easily with the SuperCollider runtime.

Files using this MIME type typically have the file extension SC. This association supports editors and systems in recognizing and properly handling the syntax and structure of SuperCollider code.
