I have been playing around with [thispatcher]'s ability to receive script messages, more concretely in order to move objects around on the patcher. The only problem is that it seems to only work in patching mode, not in presentation mode. I hope I have been overlooking something, otherwise I really don't see the point of this behaviour.

What I am trying to do is add labels to the individual sliders of a [multislider] object. As the number of sliders changes the labels (message or comment boxes with a scripting name) should move around to respect the horizontal position of each slider. Like as shown on the illustration.

Thank you for all ideas or alternative solutions,

For moving object in presentation mode you need to address "presentation rectangle" instead of "patching rectangle"

it still wasn't perfectly clear but helped me find related topics, like

I'll still need to get my head around all this as this method unlinks functionalities that I was happily confident about how they would automatically work together, such as locked m4l device aspect, but I'll get there..
