which is an "insert" method.

would make a lot of sense because it would complement the recently added 'delete' method.
a little feature request from my side:
when you set a line with the line number out of range, the line gets appended. it would be nice if the same thing could work for fields. negative field numbers would still replace the whole line, but positive field numbers out of range would append fields. since the operation is currently illegal ("text set: field number (N) past end of line"), introducing this feature shouldn't break existing patches.

hi,
(sorry for making this a feature-request spot)
as there are talks about an upcoming new PD release:
there's one feature of the [text] object i'm missing most of the time, which is an "insert" method.
i.e. to insert a new list at a specific line number and shifting the rest of the entries one line up (rather than just replacing the old one).
also the fact that [text sequence] can also work as a global message sender is such an important feature for state-saving concepts ... i think it needs a better and more prominent hint in the help file. i just discovered it some days ago, it's a fantastic but obscured feature.
(looking for a remote sending mechanism inside a help patch for sequencing is not too obvious - even if it says "sequencer/message-sender" next to it... ).
best
oliver
