That seems to do the job. Good find. The key being that it not only requests turnoff at a specific time but will extend duration to that time. It's a shame that the manual page is almost. but not quite, completely unlike reality... (:-/) For a start the Syntax is shown as "i p1 p2 p3 p4" when it should be "d p1 p2 p3" And it states that p3 is ignored, when -- by experiment -- it most definitely is not! In fact, the turnoff time is the sum of p2 and p3. Anyway, thanks for finding. -- Pete -- Csound mailing list Csound@listserv.heanet.ie https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND Send bugs reports to https://github.com/csound/csound/issues Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here
