The documentation for wgpluck was returned to the version 3.53 pdf manual,
after being absent for a while. Below is the page (in text format).

8.20 wgpluck

	ar	wgpluck	icps, iamp, kpick, iplk, idamp, ifilt, axcite

8.20.1 DESCRIPTION\

A high fidelity simulation of a plucked string, using interpolating
delay-lines.

8.20.2 INITIALIZATION

icps - frequency of plucked string
iamp - amplitude of string pluck
iplk - point along the string, where it is plucked, in the range of 0 to 1.
0 = no pluck
idamp - damping of the note. This controls the overall decay of the string.
The greater the value of idamp1, the faster the decay. Negative values will
cause an increase in output over time.
ifilt - control the attenuation of the filter at the bridge. Higher values
cause the higher harmonics to decay faster.

8.20.3 PERFORMANCE

kpick - proportion of the way along the point to sample the output
axcite - signal which excites the string
A string of frequency icps is plucked with amplitude iamp at point iplk. The
decay of the virtual string is controlled by idamp and ifilt which simulate
the bridge. The oscillation is sampled at the point kpick, and excited by
the signal axcite.

8.20.4 EXAMPLES

The following example produces a moderately long note with rapidly decaying
upper partials:

instr	1
   axcite	oscil	  1, 1, 1
   apluck	wgpluck   220, 120, .5, 0, 10, 1000, axcite
   		out	     apluck
endin
whereas the following produces a shorter, bighter note:
instr	1
   axcite	oscil	  1, 1, 1
   apluck	wgpluck   220, 120, .5, 0, 30, 10, axcite
   		out		  apluck
endin
