thanks miller and school shoes,
my problem was grasping the „initial delay“ concept: its not adding one after the other but always refering to timepoint 0. (my long years of working with max/msp hit me once again. in max/msp´s line~ times are cumulatively added, one after another.)
the flossmanual page set me straight on this, but may i suggest a slight change in the vline~-helpfile: changing the complex messagebox to: 1 1000, 0 0 2000, 1 1000 3000 (instead of 1 1000, 0 0 1000, 1 1000 1000) would -imho- make the concept of initial delay more easy to grasp.
now finally off to ramping to my hearts content...

Hi I have also been a little confused by this in the past but found the explanation on the floss page helpful :
http://en.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/audio-tutorials/envelope-generator/
I also only seem to get one ramp if I click the [1 1000 0, 0 0 1000, 1 1000 1000( message in the help file
but works if I add “ 0 0 , “ to the start of the message

hello,
maybe i am doing something stupid, but i don´t get the vline~ synthax: the helpfile states: "Any number of future ramps may be scheduled and vline~ will remember them and execute them in order. They must be specified in increasing order of initial delay however, since a segment cancels all planned segments at any future time.“
then there is an example with a message box containing: 1 1000, 0 0 1000, 1 1000 1000 but it doesn´t do more than ramp from 0-1 in a little more than a second. isn´t it supposed to ramp up then down to 0 in another second and then up again?
(using pd47-1-64 bits on osx 11.6. btw)
thanks for any pointers
