I thought it might be helpful to document how I use Giocoso on a regular basis. Some of this may be useful to you, too!
1.0 Remote Access
I do not run Giocoso on my main, desktop PC. Instead, I have a painfully feeble and slow fan-less PC sitting in an old TV cabinet to which I can connect via Ethernet network and I run Giocoso on that instead. However, I am sat at my desktop PC for long hours of the day: that's obviously the computer with which I want to control Giocoso. So how do I issue commands on my desktop PC and yet control Giocoso running in the TV cabinet? I wrote a separate article about how I achieve this using SSH and turn it into a button-clickable capability with a little bit of desktop environment manipulation.
This all simply means that I can operate Giocoso from my desktop PC, but everything I do is actually running on the music PC. I have remote control of what Giocoso does... but the program display is entirely as if I were running it locally.
