An alternative method is to use a legato instrument (the tie mechanism  - negative
p3 - I have written a chapter about this for the Csound book), so that each
instrument simply ramps to the next one - ie use the npX construct in the score, and
use the optional 'istor' arg to prevent the reinit of your oscillator. That way, you
can avoid hard-coding long ramps into linseg. At the end, just replace npX with an
explicit value. The only caveat is that start and end times must match exactly, so
it is best to use the + mechanism for start times, in the score.
