I'm not sure I understand what you mean (example ?), but obviously SAOL and
CSound don't have the same opcode sets, so the module libraries must be
different imho.

for example :
- for a pin, Label = "F", tooltip = "cutoff frequency, range such and such"
appears as a floating "post-it note" only when your mouse pointer wanders over
the pin (see Reaktor demo).
- for a module, Label = "Buzz" and tooltip = what buzz does (abstract of
reference manual), again cf Reaktor.
