Here is the paper I'll be presenting at the conference on Context. Others can judge whether it is an adequate alternative to Xeq or whether they are substantially different. The software itself is in the testing phase and I will have a working version ready in November.

Thanks for sharing this paper--xeq sounds like a really useful tool.
The paper is quite outdated, it doesn't fit very well with the actual code of 0.1. Here xeq is split in several objects: xeq, xeq_data, xeq_follow, xeq_host, xeq_parse, xeq_polyparse, xeq_polytempo, xeq_query, xeq_record, xeq_time. The function of some objects is clear, but others are not. Code-wise they are very connected, so using them in isolation is not an option (see it as a single, multi-headed beast). Therefore the current package builds it like a library object.
For those interested, I'll be presenting a similar sequencer, Context (v2), at the PD Conference in November.
It will be very interesting to see this, at least to learn more about sequencers. With good alternatives available, it makes reviving xeq a bit more optional.
Greetings,
Fred Jan

Hi All,
To find out if xeq, the sequencer package created by Krzysztof Czaja in
2006, is worth fixing, documenting and making a reliable deken
package, I am
looking for someone knowledgeable of and interested in sequencers.
Thank you for looking into this!
Xeq is a sequencer suite inspired by the [qlist] object, but extended by
several useful features, only very rudimentary described. At least it
supports midi files, searching for note sequences in its dictionaries, and
maybe even some sort of programming to control sequence parsing.
You are most likely aware of this material, but Krzysztof gave a talk
about it at the first Pd Convention in Graz 2004
