e statement — This statement may be used to mark the end of the last section of the score.
The first p-field time determines the extra time (in seconds) to be given to the performance after the actual e statement takes effect. This is useful to avoid cutting reverb tails, and other effects.
The e statement is contextually identical to an s statement. Additionally, the e statement terminates all signal generation (including indefinite performance) and closes all input and output files.
If an e statement occurs before the end of a score, all subsequent score lines will be ignored.
The e statement is optional in a score file yet to be sorted. If a score file has no e statement, then Sort processing will supply one.
