Maybe I'm missing something obvious but is there an opcode that will
retrieve the total number of instances of an instrument since the
start of a performance? I'm aware of the 'active' opcode but I would
like the total number of instances not the current number..

It should be easy enough to use a global variable to count them up.

Initialise a global i variable to 0
Add one in each instrument

or have I misunderstood?

I was thinking about that, just thought there might be a more eloquent
way. Cheers,

I guess that should be eloquent enough ;)

No you haven't misunderstood John, I was just wondering if there was
an opcode to do it. As Victor pointed out using a global variable is
simple enough to warrant a dedicated opcode useless!

…perhaps with active opcode?

Hi Enrico, 'active' won't retrieve this information. It will only
retrieve the current number of instances. Using global variables works
fine.

but wait until 5.13!  A brand new, totally untested opcode called
totalinst returnd th etotal number of instances that have been started in
this endering.

Code in CVS now, description in manual, exampole not written yet

Great, I can't wait to get rid of those out of instr block global
variables! Really though you should have given that it's so
straightforward. I only asked as there was already an active opcode. I
wonder would it make more sense to simply add a flag to the active
opcode to specify total instance number since start of performance
with a default value for total number of current active instances?

Could be a variant on active -- whatever the community wants.  Internally
it is similar but neededextra data in the TEXT structure.  As an option to
acyive it would save a name...   Anyone care?

It would perhaps be easier to find if it was in the same place.

I think the option on active is probably a better solution.
