Frank:
I am trying to test your segtest patch of lineseg~. Once I load the numbers (either with the middle or right message boxes) and press bang I am only getting the print statements out (the numbers seems ok) but nothing from the line~ itself comes out. Looking into lineseg~ I wonder if you can just connect the output of a textfile to the inlet of a line~ object. I don't understand why this should work. If this is supposed to work why a sequence of number pairs, delimited with commas shouldn't?
So, I am not seeing anything on the db display or on the lineout array. I also
Please tell me if I am missing something.
Thanks
Rodrigo

I think Max/MSP might do this... but Pd never has.
So my mind was playing tricks on me: I have never used Max/MSP.
(I think it's possible to do this in an abstraction, using, for example, "textfile" to hold a list of breakpoints that you would send by messages, that would be sent to a line~ in sequence.)
That's a good idea, but in fact it was a bit trickier to realize than I first thought. I got it working and as I think that this is a very useful abstraction I attached a "lineseg~", that can be used just like the Csound opcode or as a simple ADSR.
It would be trivial to extend it with a note-off sensor and an amplitude scaling factor if one replaces the trigger bang with float messages and a [select 0].
