[jmsl] startTime or scheduling MusicShape start

[jmsl at music.columbia.edu]

This would be better implemented with a ParallelCollection.
Shape 1 has 0 start delay, shape 2 has 5.5 sec start delay, and shape 3 
has 20.0 sec start delay.  Put all three in a parallel collection. 
Launching the parallelcollection launches them all at once, but each 
will follow its own startdelay
Thanks
