Ah yep. It has some weirdness. At least it's not a stack overflow or 
slow-down (that I noticed...). Will fix. Wasn't tested for anything but 
bluescreen, and it's way too simple (need to figure out about alphas).

Yes! I forgot the thing about banging the metro on each incrementation! 
Thank you!
But, I wanted to do something with the absolute frame-numbers because 
that will be more flexible in the end. I have an idea about an fps as a 
motion-blur-threshold. Simple, but works since processing is free in 
pdp, at least for my use so far. :-)

Aha. That was one of the things I wanted to afterwards. Looks like it'll 
be black & yellow, then.

Oh. That is not so simple when it keeps reseting shit left and right, 
top and bottom, not to mention hogs the scale units and has an artistic 
idea about the placement of my sliders and toggles. The whole thing 
about sacrificing goats and stuff isn't really necessary. Still, i guess 
it takes more than 4-5 hours practice and a trackpad to make it easy. :-/

Anyway, I didn't read the docs well enough or experiment enough before 
opening my big mouth. Will practice. :-)

Well, not for me. Will investigate. I tried it in subpatches, there it 
works ok. Better approach for some things, anyway.

Thank you! The docs for graph-on-parent very much welcome!

Tomorrow my stack-overflowing almost-pure-pd step-sequencer will get 
some more attention along with the other stuff.

Flake, indeed.
