If I have an abstraction I can add it to my patch via a bpatcher window, and use the offset attribute to show me just one area of that abstraction at a time.

Here's my question: is is possible to have two bpatchers showing two different areas of *the same instance* of an abstraction?

I'm fairly sure this can't be done. However it's highly probable that you can mimic similar behaviour if you set your abstracted patch up to communicate with a second instance of itself. Is there something specific you are trying to achieve? Do you have an example patch?

The reason is I have a very long live.grid (1 row by 64 steps) but instead of displaying it all in one row, I want to display it in 8 rows of 8. So I thought I would show the first 8 steps through one bpatcher, the next 8 through another bpatcher placed below, and so on.

I could have 8 instances of the same abstraction, all running at the same time but each one offset differently. Or I could set up 8 live.grids, and make each one represent a different run of 8 semiquavers, somehow.

I'll have a think about it. Maybe I'll end up using a matrixctrl instead. I like live.grid though, it looks nice!

Hi jko - yes, that's the kind of thing :)
