 # Action events
 
-Action events trigger Python functions.
\ No newline at end of file
+Action events trigger Python functions. Set the `action` property to a function or lambda, and it will be executed at the time of the event:
+
+```python
+timeline.schedule({
+    "action": lambda: print("Hello world")
+})
+```
+
+Observe that, when you run the above, it will print `Hello world` indefinitely, once per beat. Why is this?
+
+Just as for [notes](note.md) and other event types, the `duration` parameter of the event template defaults to an infinitely-repeating pattern generated by `PConstant`. To limit the number of repeats that an action performs, use the `count` argument:
+
+```python
+timeline.schedule({
+    "action": lambda: print(round(timeline.current_time))
+}, count=4)
+```
+
+## Action arguments
+
+For more complex functions, custom named keyword arguments can be passed to the function using the `args` property
+
+This executes an action every 4 beats to change the global key of the piece, using the [Globals](/patterns/#globals) variables:  
+
+```python
+def set_key(k):
+    iso.Globals.set("key", iso.Key(key))
+
+timeline.schedule({
+    "action": set_key,
+    "args": {
+        "k": iso.PWhite(8)
+    },
+    "duration": 4
+})
+timeline.schedule({
+    "degree": 0,
+    "key": iso.PGlobals("key"),
+    "octave": 4
+})
+```

 ## Clock resolution and accuracy
 
 isobar's internal clock by default has a resolution of 480 ticks per beat (PPQN), which equates to a timing precision of 1ms at 120bpm.
