PERF-HUD and SD Timings

Here are 2 simple commands to READ and PLAY an SD sequence from the PERF HUD

*autofx
TRACE,off
1,SD=READ_SD_SEQ%1$
2,SD=PLAY_SEQ$
END

This reads sequence #1

Here is the *events nc.
TRACE,off
ELAPSED
1,ReadSeq1,1
2,PlaySeq,7
3,End,30
END

notice the 2nd event at 6 seconds allows for about 19 total lines (13 good lines) of SD sequence to be read.
before it tries to play. Try just reading the sequence to see how long it takes.

[22:54:24] (You): ….
[22:54:30] PE18a-r – Artiste SmartDancer – Controller – v12.45 – RC7: [SEQ] End of Sequence: *sequence1 – 13 Read. FREE Memory: 18454
[22:54:30] PE18a-r – Artiste SmartDancer – Controller – v12.45 – RC7: $$$

*sequence1
/* lineno, command, parm | elapsedtime or durationtime
/* Dance is WITHOUT at-sign and applies to a duplicated division (i.e. J-R and A-I have same division
/* Dance2 is WITH at-sign (@) – Division is WITHOUT pound-sign (#)

TIME

Allow enough time !

Assume a DDMoveTau,9 seconds.
How much time before the next command”?

Q: FORM (i.e. FORMJR,FORMAI,FORMALL)
A: 9

Q: JUNEs
A: 9

Q:SEMILEFT or SEMIRIGHT
A: 18

Q: READing a sequence of 20 statement lines + 4 comment lines followed by an end followed by a blank line and 5 more lines first time read could be a lot.  Subsequent times will be less.
A: 31
