When I say live coding I don't assume an audience. I find it just too
complicated if it was required as the term is not exclusive to musical
applications in the first place and it is even in the musical setting
awkward to call it live coding on stage but not in rehearsal.

Also I don't see a problem simply saying "live coding concert" or "live
coding performance" when a particular artistic setting is meant that
implies an audience.
