We now signal to the staff person to move to the next point.
As the next required point is too far away (it is also round a corner)
we will eventually need to move the instrument.
So, we must move the staff to a change point (CP), to allow us to move the
instrument to a better position later on.

After we make a FS and we have calculated the new RL we are finished
with that instrument position.
Move the Instrument (about the CP) to a new position where we can see the CP
and also the next point we want the RL value of.
