Looks like .time is taken as the length of time in seconds for the  
value to go from 0.0 to 1.0. Based on the ChucK manual, I, too, would  
have expected this to be the desired time to go from the current  
value to the target value. Care to report this as a bug,  http:// 
wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Bugs/Reports seems to be the  
place for that?
