e Statement

e statement — This statement may be used to mark the end of the last section of the score.

Description

This statement may be used to mark the end of the last section of the score.

Syntax

e time

Performance

The first p-field time determines the extra time (in seconds) to be given to the performance after the actual e statement takes effect. This is useful to avoid cutting reverb tails, and other effects.

Special Considerations

The e statement is contextually identical to an s statement. Additionally, the e statement terminates all signal generation (including indefinite performance) and closes all input and output files.

If an e statement occurs before the end of a score, all subsequent score lines will be ignored.

The e statement is optional in a score file yet to be sorted. If a score file has no e statement, then Sort processing will supply one.
