Hey hey,
I'd like to trigger an action - using a conditional statement - after an 
arbitrary delay. I can see two basic methods: is there perhaps something more 
efficient?

1. Query absolute time and compare to desired time (using timek or times).
2. Generate a control-rate impulse, delay it with delayk and use if directly 
or changed. (How to best generate that impulse?)

This is for a single action (so no metronome). Did I miss something obvious?

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette

Hi Rory and Johannes,
thanks for your quick reply. Alas, that won't be possible. This code
will probably have to go within a UDO. I should have said, my apologies.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

It's just that I'd like the UDO to be independent, to be used within any
kind of orchestra. But it's an interesting point, I never thought of
triggering instruments from within a UDO. It's definitely a capability
to keep in mind.

Best wishes and thanks,

Jeanette

Nice one! Thanks!
