Ah, sorry I terribly misread your question! Ignore my last mail :-/
Passing arguments to subpatches is currently not possible. Generally, how would you distinguish between abstraction creation arguments and subpatch arguments? $1, $2, $3, inside a subpatch already refer to the enclosing abstraction's creation arguments. This means you would need a dedicated syntax (or a dedicated object) to access subpatch creation arguments. I don't see this happening, to be honest.
I'd say, if you need creation arguments, just use an abstraction ;-)

PS: internally, subpatches don't really have creation arguments at all. Instead they have a pointer to the canvas environment of the enclosing abstraction or root canvas.

Sorry, is this documented anywhere?
I see a -x option to the [clone] object, which works for abstractions only.
I am talking about a general way to send positional parameters into a subpatch similar to how I can pass parameters into an abstraction.

[pd NAME IGNORED ... -p ARG1 ARG2...] This would be a nice feature, in that it would make subpatches work more like abstractions.
