| Graphically Placing InstrumentsThese methods allow the user to override Tao's default graphical placement scheme. The default scheme is not very intelligent in the current version and simply places each new instrument above the previous one (`above' meaning in the +ve y direction). TheplaceAtmethod
allows the position of the bottom left hand corner of the bounding
box surrounding the instrument to be set explicitly. TheplaceAbove,placeBelow,placeRightOfandplaceLeftOfmethods allow an instrument to be 
placed relative to another instrument.In the case of the methods which expect an additional argument
 
    placeAt(<x, y>)
    placeAbove(<instrument>)
    placeBelow(<instrument>)
    placeRightOf(<instrument>)
    placeLeftOf(<instrument>)
    placeAbove(<instrument>, <offset>)
    placeBelow(<instrument>, <offset>)
    placeRightOf(<instrument>, <offset>)
    placeLeftOf(<instrument>, <offset>)
