Hi all,

http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/instr.html states that:

"""
If an instrument is defined with a name, you simply call it directly
like an opcode:

asig MyOscil iamp, ipitch, iftable
"""

But I get errors when calling a named instrument like that. OTOH, the
same invocation works fine when done through subinstr.

For example:

a1,a2   subinstr    "Insx", ivel, ipch, .05, .7, 0.3, 6, 5, 3, 2, .5

works as expected, but

a1,a2   subinstr    "Insx", ivel, ipch, .05, .7, 0.3, 6, 5, 3, 2, .5

throws:

error:  illegal character ., line 57:
    a1,a2   Insx  ivel, ipch, .05, .7, 0.3, 6, 5, 3, 2, .5
                              ^
error:  illegal character ., line 57:
    a1,a2   Insx  ivel, ipch, .05, .7, 0.3, 6, 5, 3, 2, .5

                                                        ^

error:  input arg 'a1' used before defined, line 58:
            outs        a1, a2

Am  I missing something here?
