[CM] Splicing sections

[Heinrich Taube]

it sounds like you are using cm2 so ill assume that in this  
answer...first, if you know how long the sections are ahead of time  
then you can simply start them at the appropriate times, say 0 30 90:

(events (list (intro) (main) (conclusion))
	"foo.mid"
         '(0 30 90))

if you dont knwo how long they last you can use the 'finally' statment  
to chain them:

(defun intro ()
   (process ...
            output ...
            finally (sprout (main) :at (now))))

(defun main ()
   (process ...
            output
            finally (sprout (conclusion ) :at (now))))

(events (intro)
         "foo.mid"
         0)


hope this helps!
