I mean the markers you can put in many formats like AIFF and RIFF/WAVE. Many editors call them CUEs and are often referenced by "loop chunks". I'd like to be able to place markers with an editor (even many of them, if possible, like 100 or more) and then read they value and name in PD.

Thanks for listening.

yeah, ok. i forgot all about that. I used to use DAP, so i,ll take a look into the code there and add it into my code.

want to make a proposal for how to deal with the mesages?

You could make a related object

[readsfmarker filename.wav]

with 3 outlets: positions in msec and name and errors

then handle

-numeric messages as request for the position and name of the n-th marker -other messages as requests for the position of the markee with that name. pattern matching would be useful.

Bang on the third outlet for n out of range or no match.

There are several variants of course.
