Being well aware that turnoff doesn't work with fractional instrument
numbers (nor does schedule), I no longer use these opcodes in fractional
situations.

Rather, I use a triggered schedkwhen in an always-on instrument that manages
all other instrument scheduling. (I imagine that event does the same thing.)
I first specify schedkwhen with an infinite duration (negative p3) then turn
it off by calling schedkwhen again with a negative (here fractional)
instrument number and zero duration.
