They look good, Janet. Thanks for sharing the source code.

I can imagine them playing a piano, or some other musical instrument. All we
need is a macro to translate sheet music into hand motions. :)

Yes, clock defaults to 0, but (to quote from the docs) "you can set it to
any float value using the INI file option Clock=n.n or the command-line
switch +Kn.n to pass a single float value to your scene file". See
3.2.1.3.6  Built-in Variables.

You can also do this conversion using the builtin radians function:

#declare arT = radians(aT);
