Thanks, folks, there's a lot to think about there.
Another workshop this evening, so we'll see what we find most useful.
Yeah, the lack of a subject was a sheer accident on my part.
Cheers

is there a reason for omitting the subject?

netsend and netreceive can send any type of message. You should look into OSC for your needs.
well afaics, OSC doesn't give you any advantage with the original problems. the problem seems to be related to Pd's messages rather than the net-objects (e.g. "[blu( -> [send val1 $1(" won't work, but if you use "[symbol blu(" it will; see the Pd-documentation and the list archives for why this is so)
In a related question, what is the difference between netsend and sendOSC?
#0 i don't know whether i have said this before, but just in case: [sendOSC] is unmaintained and buggy, and i would suggest to not use it. use mrpeach's [packOSC] and [udpsend] instead.
#1 they are different objects; [netsend] uses FUDI (which looks just like Pd-messages) as the application layer protocol, whereas [sendOSC] oses OSC
Can netsend and netreceive be used for OSC?
no. they are different, non-compatible application layer protocols (OSC uses binary data enriched with meta-data, whereas Pd's FUDI is plain text with a special meaning of semicolon)
you can probably construct an OSC-message that is parseable as a FUDI message and vice-versa, but nothing that i would "use".
