(1) The availability of resources such as variables and objects within various parts of a program. In traditional procedural programming, scope is either global or local; however, scopes can be nested. (2) In AppleScript, the range over which AppleScript recognizes a variable or property, which determines where else in a script you may refer to that variable or property. (3) In Core Audio, a programmatic context within an audio unit. Unlike the general computer science notion of scopes, however, audio unit scopes cannot be nested. Each scope is a discrete context. You use scopes when writing code that sets or retrieves values of parameters or properties. Compare element. See also parameter, property.

Sound pressure level. A measure of sound intensity. SPL is commonly expressed as a ratio in decibels relative to 0 dB SPL, or as an absolute level in Pascals (Pa). Although SPL is sometimes used to approximately indicate loudness, the correlation of SPL to loudness is complex due to perceptual factors. See also weighting.

To bring a running application to the front of the screen, allowing the user to interact with it. Compare launch.
