*''<AndersG> The hierarchy of range animation is also an issue. It is common to have one for each instrument where one could as well has used one for all instruments (by loading the instruments in a submodel XML file). Testing one range animation ought to be cheaper than 47.'' | *''<AndersG> The hierarchy of range animation is also an issue.
