RE: triginstr - new opcode (re-resend)
I agree with David up to a point. I think schedule/when should be fixed because they're simpler to use but I've just read the documentation for triginstr and it looks tasty. k-rate variables make it tricky but much richer. I think updating scheds would make for ungainly opcodes. (Maybe there should be a third: schedkwhen, or something.)
 
It ties-in very neatly with an orch I'm working on right now which will store attack times from real input to a table (written on the fly somehow) for subsequent reading by, I now know, triginstr.
 
I'm really looking forward to this one.

PS. With the sched* opcodes I find that the triggered instruments are held indefinitely. Is that the case, anyone? (In realtime it results in the break-up of the signal due to overflow(?).)

Excuse my ignorance, but how is this different from schedwhen except for the limiting arguments and the implied ability for multiple triggers from one instrument? Could not schedule/schedwhen be updated to to include these features?
