<div>Aha, 'spigot' is the object I've been searching for. The purpose of the "set set $1" was to prep the change object with the new value before reinitializing the receive, so that the value doesn't jump when unmuted, so the "set $1" is still necessary. The rest of the patch looks up a note name according to y, which I only want it to do when manually dragging notes.
