So, most of my work should be pretty self-explanatory. One question: what is the intent of the "Messages" section? Is this "messages understood by the first inlet"? If so, I guess I should move the "Inlet 0" explanations there and put something like "Inlet 0: 1/0 for DSP On/Off + <Messages>" with a link to that section?
well, here starts the great definition chaos on what is message and what is data.
for simplicity i guess that you have 2 choices:
- everything that goes to inlet-0 is a 'message'; in this case i would
suggest to remove the inlet-0 section (rather than the messages section)
- everything that is not one of the predefined types "float", "symbol",
"list" is a 'message'; in this case we would need both a messages- and an inlet0- section.
Hm, but inlets different from inlet0 also may accept different kinds of messages, "pack 0 0 0" vs. "pack s s s" is one example. So I would suggest to remove the "Messages" section and only use Inlet-sections, that explain the various messages and data streams an inlet accepts or expects. But just like Luke I may now understand what Messages was supposed to contain in the first place.
