yes, that's true Scott - I remember having to do that before to get my
switching to work properly. I think that the problem was to do with needing
to use different boundary settings on the same segment at different times,
in other words you sometimes want to play it aligned and sometimes from the
start at the boundary. If your default is align to segment and you want it
to play from the start at the next measure, you need to specify
AtMeasure+AtImmediate in the script on that instance. Leaving off
AtImmediate would make it play back aligned at the next measure, which when
you think about it gives you more different options.

DM works in mysterious ways sometimes ;)

I seem to remember a problem with AlignToSegment and Scripting.  I think it
always plays on a measure bounday if you do it from a script.  I can't
remember all the specifics.  What is the default boundary of the segment?  I
think it needs to be AtImmediate?

Oh,  I think the solution was to call sometihng like:

Segment.play AligntoSegment+AtImmediate+(whatever other boundary eg. AtBeat)

Sorry I'm all fuzzy, I just walked in the door from GDC.
