you can send this info out of poly~... thispatcher will give the voice

You can send it to all voices, and ignore if its a different note or not 

Or use a coll as described above to determine the voice...

the problem is, that you assume there is only one voice playing the same

You can send it to all voices, and ignore if its a different note or not 
playing...

Several voices may play the same note, sure, but this is also true for the

noteoff message (midinote 60 0): if middle C is played by several voices,

poly~ chooses to turn off only one (the "oldest one", I think). A

'targetnote' message could make the same choice (and therefore would be able

to speak only to the oldest of the "same notes", like noteoff.

The coll solution is what I think would be nice to avoid doing ourselves,

since the info is already stored inside poly~.

Thanks for the suggestions.

certainly not as elegant as targeting the current "new note", but could be useful...

would banging thispoly~ work for you?
