<H2>Function Declaration Section</H2>
<P>The major purpose of this division is to allow you to declare function
tables for waveforms, envelopes, etc. These functions are declared exactly
as specified for <B>Csound</B>. In fact, everything you type between the
brackets in this section will be passed directly to the resulting <I>numeric</I>
score with no modification, so that mistakes will not be caught by the
<B>Scot</B> program, but rather by the subsequent performance. You can
use this section to write notes for instruments for which traditional pitch-rhythm
notation is inappropriate. The most common example would be turning on
a reverb instrument. Instruments referenced in this way need not appear
in the <B>Scot</B> orchestra declaration. Here is a possible function declaration:</P>
<PRE><TT> functions {
f1 0 256 10 1 0 .5 0 .3
f2 0 256 7 0 64 1 64 .7 64 0
i9 0 -1 3 ; this turns on instr 9
}</TT>
