very n00b question - trying to set up an abstraction for playback

lem's icon

and if i trigger a play item with line, then i need to send it a message "X, Y Y" where X is start and Y the end.
i think so anyway!
but i seem unable to append a comma, in order to create that message.

there's probably easier ways to do every part of this exercise, so any reply appreciated :-) !

right i did that, by putting a "" before the comma. google helped.

i'm trying to make this a bpatcher object though, and can't AND the famous help documentation of msx/msp really isn't that helpful, a lot of the time... in my subpatch everything that i want visible appears in presentation mode, but i don't know how to change what is visible in the bpatcher object. thanks.

i am unable to make it open automatically in presentation view, to see if this might be what i need, because there is no "view" tab in the inspector. confusing.

Open the patcher inspector and check "Open in Presentation".
