I posted this composition that I did using the data structures to this
list a while back. I definitely enjoyed the process and am going to
develop my sequencer program further once I find the time...

Hello list,
I'm trying to teach myself how to use the data structure feature in
0.38-3 - it seems this feature is still very much under development -
is there a way to dynamically delete structures, to "un-append" them
from a list? I want data structures to appear alongside sound-events,
then expire as the events pass on.BTW, I find that the inconsistent terminology used in the
documentation to describe data structures makes it quite baffling to
the neophyte, as terms like "list" (a list of scalars) confuse with a
normal pd list of atoms (floats, symbols etc.) and they're treated
quite differently. Also, the documentation hasn't been updated to
reflect changes in the features (templates, obsolete by 0.38, are
still referred to in the docs, for instance) - I would be more than
willing to work with whomever has taken on such things to see to it
that the documentation gets proofread and checked for consistency with
each release - I've had no problem learning most of the rest of PD but
these data structures are something different altogether. Or does
anyone else out there know of any better/revised documentation? Do
many people find the data structures useful? I think the idea has a
lot of potential but hasn't yet been worked out in all its details.
I'm interested in seeing this happen.Thanks, David
