setnote
older disk-based cmix instruments
superceded by
rtsetoutput and and
rtsetinput.
Here is the original documentation:
SYNOPSIS
#include "ugens.h"
setnote(starttime,duration,filenum)
float starttime,dur;
int filenum;
DESCRIPTION
setnote() positions the disk pointers on the previously
opened file number to compute (duration * sampling rate).
If starttime is a negative value its absolute value is equal
to the number of samples per channel to skip on the file
before reading or writing, and if duration is negative its
value equals the number of samples per channel to compute.
If setnote() seeks beyond the current end of the file empty
space will be created between that point and the position it
points to. This will appear to all software as 0's but will
not actually hog up any real disk space. The D-A conversion
program will play silence during that point.

DIAGNOSTICS
If something is wrong setnote() will kill the run by itself.
