[Pd] csoundapi~ issues

[Chuckk Hubbard]

So does it go for hours now?
If you were doing it that way, too, couldn't you set it so a note of a
certain duration retriggered the same instrument after that duration -
1 second or something?  Although for an installation it would seem
like this would cause some overlapping weirdness.
Maybe two identical instruments that trigger events in each other
immediately upon shutting off.  I don't know, but let us know if you
solve it.
