As I say above, it's not ignored, but the message produced is not considered to be a list anymore. Furthermore, the message-type is never accessible as $1, because $1 is the start of the message-content.
yes, all is as it should be - I was only recommending an addition to the help files to make it clear, since it took me a while to figure out what was happening. Maybe the example attached could be added to these files:
doc/2.control.examples/10.more.messages.pd
doc/5.reference/help-message.pd
You may need a [prepend] object. There are several ones provided by different libraries.
but is there a simple way to [prepend] without using external libraries? I'm making the subpatch to put in patches I'm sharing with others, so I would like to have Gem as the only external needed beyond the standard distribution.
thanks
