Hello Rob,
scalars can't be deleted actually without the GUI, but there are several tricks for doing something like it.
One is about using float indexes instead of using pointer order, and then set to -1 or another value that doesn't count the scalars that have to be removed, and finally use a temporary structure for cleaning. Another one is about using one scalar and an array for including your structure, so you can delete values inside element. It's also possible to save, modify, and reload the structure with using a text file.
Just in case you are interested about using tcltk instead of datastructure for drawing your GUI (it still uses DS for sequencing)
I've shared a work in progress:

dear list,
i've been working with pd for a couple of years and finally diving into data-structures/scalars to build a midi recorder / looper.
is there a way to delete a scalar, without selecting it with the mouse ? or does one generally specify an active state parameter for each scalar.
greets, Rob
