Locking parts of an instrument - lock.tao

This script illustrates the use of the various locking instrument methods. These include lockCorners, lockLeft, lockRight, lockTop, lockPerimeter, and lock. It creates six rectangular instruments and locks each one in a slightly different way. It then applies short impulse to each instrument so as to allow a side by side comparison of the effects on each.
