To start with, $ args mean different things in message boxes, so it's
not clear what $0 would mean in a message box. Making $0 in a
message box behave like $0 in an object box could be a quick hack,
but it could also have ramifications going forward.

it is a pity that there is no $0 in messages. that would help so
much! most of the time I use local send/receive like s $0-blabla. with messages you always have to mess with workaounds to achieve the same result. marius.Roman Haefeli wrote:
i don't know if there is a technical difference in efficiency, but there is a difference in use. at least before 0.40, using [; $1 $2( was
the only way to achieve a settable send. there is also a cosmetic aspect: if you want to collect some initial values together at some place, it is much nicer to have only one message box, where all values can be stored instead of having a[loadbang] | [13] | [s value]
construction for each value.
this:
[loadbang] |__________________ |; / |value 34 | |somevalue 127 | |othervalue 57 | |yoyo 1___________\
looks much nicer and is easier to edit, isn't it?

Hey, when I look through miller's tutorial patches, I often find ";- messages" instead of a send object like: [;detune $1( vs [s detune] I wonder why, is there a significant difference? is one more efficient then the other (if yes, I always thought send is more
efficient..?). this is not urgent, I can sleep without an answer! just curious. marius.
