I would just like to clarify something from the Documentation. The docs says that if I pass 

 will allocate automatically an array of atoms with the needed length for me. On the other hand, it also says that 'Any allocated memory should be freed with 

.' My question is: should I free the internally allocated atom array at some point if I passed 

 as parameters or will Max take care of this?

The docs says that if I pass 0 and NULL to the ac and av parameters (respectively) then atom_setparse will allocate automatically an array of atoms with the needed length for me.

Yes, you have to free the internally allocated memory - think about it, even if a global register of the allocated stuff was kept, Max would have no way to know when to free things in it... does it make sense?
