    <title>Description</title>
    <para>
      Conditional branch during p-time depending on elapsed note time. <emphasis>istrt</emphasis> and <emphasis>idur</emphasis> specify time in seconds. The branch to <emphasis>label</emphasis> will become effective at time <emphasis>istrt</emphasis>, and will remain so for just <emphasis>idur</emphasis> seconds. Note that <emphasis>timout</emphasis> can be reinitialized for multiple activation within a single note (see example under <link linkend="reinit"><citetitle>reinit</citetitle></link>).
    </para>
