1.2 VSCode settings

2023-11-26: try removing auto snippets suggestions. Only worked by passing a [extempore] directive:

"[extempore]": {
    "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false,
    "editor.quickSuggestions": {
        "other": false,
        "comments": false,
        "strings": false
        }
    },

=> See settings.json

VSCODE opts

"extempore.sharedir": "/Applications/-Other-Apps/2-Music/_synthesys/extempore"
