Below is a simple little Csound score generator posted some time ago by
Dave Madole (I think).

As I'm still a beginner as far as 'C' goes, if it's not too much to ask,
could someone comment this code and send it back to me?

Also, the output regarding start times(p2) is not chronological.  Any tips
on how to change this would, as always, be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Arne
