[jmsl] startTime or scheduling MusicShape start

[jmsl at music.columbia.edu]

I'm wondering about setting an absolute time, or maybe more  
accurately, an absolute "start time" for a MusicShape. I would have  
expected setStartTime() to do this, but it doesn't appear to... I  
understand that startDelay allows starting some given period after the  
"launch" command, but what about starting a MusicShape at a specific  
point in a SequentialCollection? That's what I'd like to do. So, say I  
have 3 MusicShapes, and they're in a SequentialCollection. I'd like to  
be able to start shape 1 at 0.0, shape 2 at 5.5, and shape 3 at 20.0,  
regardless of the actual total duration of each shape.
I'm sure this is possible, but I can't see how it's done.

thanks,

J.
