I'm a very new newbie, struggling to get beyond the coll object to project text as part of a performance. The text requirements include:

19,000 names - each triggered by a MIDI or other input (towards the end of the performance, there are likely to be 10 names per second), and projected randomly in a theatre space

a memo, each letter of which is "generated" by a Midi or other input, and output in sequence in a letter format across the "page"

a memo, each word of which is generated by a Midi or other input, and output in sequence in a letter format across the "page"

My questions include - how is the information collated? Database? Spreadsheet? the Coll object only seems to allow 40 somthing lines.

what is the code that would allow this to happen? Could someone write this for me (with credit in the performance)?

The overriding limitation on my part is that I am a composer / performer, not a coder, and do not have time available to learn Max in enough detail to do this myself. If there are people out there who can help / support / direct, I would be very grateful.

I have used colls with much much more lines. What makes you wrongly

I doubt you get it as cheap as a credit...

I would ask you to pass your own hourly rate for my time, which would 

still be much cheaper than you could do it as a beginner...

Most people who code in Max are composers, and I can recommend Max to 

any composer, it is mind blowing and will definitely move you beyond 

I don't know if you'd have enough time for that project, but I can

your own limitations...
I don't know if you'd have enough time for that project, but I can 
guaranty its worth to dive into it...
