Hello.I’m not good at English. I have a question, so I took a video.
I expanded the parameters in the event and added a delay function to each track to change the number so that it can be read. However, I have to stop at 6 seconds marked with a marker, which is the point where the last number is read, but I am progressing for about 4 more seconds.
May I know the cause? And can you make it stop at the desired point, 6 seconds?

Hi,
An event instance usually stops by itself when there’s no more content to play. Though I don’t really understand the structure of your event, neither why you want it to stop at a specific point, you can always force a stop by using a command instrument:
