[r] in plain Pd doesn't allow this, all IEM-GUI objects however do.
that's true. but I wanted to use only standard objects (maybe too
radical?).
As far as I see, you only need dynamic receives to get the position of the cnv. You can fake that by renaming the receivers of IEM number
true. in itself also not so necessary, but if the feature is there, why
not add it?
the cnv. You can fake that by renaming the receivers of IEM number boxes [nbx]. However be careful: Once you renamed the receiver, the old value is gone, so you need to keep track of which receiver name is currently active.
ok, good point. but it will save time if one gives the variable first,
which is the point of the patch. I mean, if no changes in code are
predicted, since it's working I guess it wouldn't bother so (well, apart
from "dirtying" the patch).
