Hi,  
I want to run the Sonic Pi server on it’s own, without the default GUI, but I’m not sure how to do this on Windows. I’m thinking about using another GUI with it.

Apologies, but there’s no official ‘headless mode’.

If you’re interested in seeing this happen, please either consider working on the feature yourself (I’m happy to assist where possible) or support continued development on Patreon: [http://patreon.com/samaaron](http://patreon.com/samaaron) so I have the resources to look into it personally.
