Hi guys
As usual a little slow here. I use a segmented patchcord from time to time, its a dummy [sg] object with one inlet and one outlet inserted at the segmentpoint. With PD 0.40-2 you can set the props to 4x4pix and "hide objectname and arguments".
There's a png (120k)here http://steffen.menneske.dk/img/segments.PNG
