I believe the question of saving automation data has come up before, but this is a different question, I think.
I want to write and read the objects in a subpatch to and from textfiles; not the state of the objects, nor scalars, but the patch itself. Is there a way? I have 8 voices in my sequencer, and 8 subpatches for creating control values to send to csoundapi~. But each Csound orchestra I work with will have different parameters for different instruments, and so the 8 will be different from each other, as well as being different depending on what score I open in my Pd sequencer. So I gave up on using abstractions with arguments, because whenever I change one they all change. But AFAIK subpatches can't be read and written by sending messages to them. Any ideas? Is there a 'menusaveas' message or something?
Maybe you can script something with "select all" "copy and paste", but did you try to use one of the saving systems like [sssad] to save parameters? I don't know what exactly is in your subpatches, but I'm pretty sure [sssad] can be made to save it. (taking my mouth quite full here ;)
