In other words, I just want to – graphically – place points into a X-Y space, then have some sort of playback mechanism trigger it.

Most of what I have found so far is metric in some way or another (matrixcrtl et al), and while it seems I may have to dive into javascript to do this, I was wondering if there could be any other clever way to do this,

I basically just want to put, say, circles into this X Y shape, and move them along/around while the box is being played back.

one is a probabilistic metronome where the relative amounts of bangs are predictable but not the exact moment of the next bang.

The second is one way to set graphically a sequence in this case using the multislider. I am sure this is what you are looking for, but maybe it can serve as an inspiration.

But you multislider example was really, really nice, and has triggered some very good ideas that I can build upon. Thanks!

I just clicked them together on the multi-slider and wrote the values to the message.

If you need random lists with gaps similar to the list in the example,you can do something like that:
