<div># Thank you very much, Frank!</div>
<div># Using list instead of symbol solves my problem. Perhaps it will be good, if there were an equivalent of zero in symbol domain, ie. an empty symbol(?)</div>
<div># And a small detail: Pd couldn't create [list $1] in the scope of the abstraction. Because, if I understood correctly, [list $1] turns into [list fileName] but there isn't that kind of a list. Instead, I wrote [list append $1] and that worked.

<div># Thanks again!</div>
