I'm new to Max, I've just made my first patch (thanks to a lot of very useful threads I found on this very forum) and I was wondering how to do these things:

1: How to export the patch in a DMG or EXE file so that anybody can open it without Max.

2: How to resize the patch window and make it open automatically in presentation mode.

3: How to have a subpatch open automatically when the patch opens (it's just a ''read me'' text encapsuled in a subpatch)

EDIT: I have a synth that plays very carefully defined pitches at a precise timing (counter counts tempo bangs - sel bangs various messages (pitches and durations) which are then going through a makenote - mtof - cycle then adsr and finally output. For some reason, there are sometimes random pitches that appear in the series and some durations are altered, any idea what causes this?

(For your edit, not sure without seeing the patch, if you'd like, select all then under edit menu choose copy compressed... then paste here, otherwise a random guess would be some prob around how the makenote affects everything else... Or maybe you connected the right-most outlet of 'sel' when you didn't mean to...)

Thanks a lot for the links! And I (kind of) figured the problem. I was using a send at the end of the sel object, and a receive to bang the message giving the new duration and that seemed to cause the bug. I just drew a patch cord between the 2 instead and now it seems to be working!
