Should this be allowed?

I am not sure it's documented, but it seems possible to set a fixed  
duration in an instrument by assigning to p3.

I would say yes, only because I've used it for years. :)  It should
only be settable at init-time so I think it is alright.  I guess even
just because of legacy purposes we will need to support it.

Ok; Is it documented? I have never come across it.

Yes; certainly.  Many people use it and it is actually very useful

And I remember it as one of the defined facilities in Csound from the 
beginning; it is far from being an "emergent feature".

I depend on this feature and use it constantly.

Typically, I generate notes algorithmically. They can be of any
duration from very short to very long. I don't want notes that are too
short to render the attack and release so I do something like this:

iattack = 0.02
irelease = 0.04
isustain = p3
p3 = iattack + isustain + irelease

Regards,
Mike

Well, I think this should be documented. I have not seen it anywhere,  
but I might be wrong.
