Hi

I combined some of the instruments into a single orchestra and
made a test score to test them out. I ran into a wierd thing.
I separated all the i-statements with s-statement. The first i-statement
was of duration of 5 secs, then s-statement etc. While compiling,
csound showed 19 secs of silence after the first instrument. I commented
it out, so the first statement was s after ftables and still 19 secs
of silence was generated. Csound output showed just as creating output 
B0.00 .. 3.00 TT 0.00 and so on, but no allocation of an instrument was
issued. When trying the instruments separately no silence is generated
Csound is 3.46 for linux. In the score are 19 ftables, some of them
quite large (soundin).

Any ideas?

Thanks

did your f-tables start at time '0'?
