[symbol $0-a] ? 

Or do you mean in another patch, where you don't know the content of
$0? You can send $0 to that patch, it's just a number. Or directly
send "$0-a". 

You can also pass "$0-a" as an abstraction argument.  Assuming you
have an abstraction, which wants to [tabread] your table.  Then just
create a [tabread $1] object and call that abstraction with "$0-a" as
argument. If you want to pass lots of names like this, it's better to
only pass "$0" and construct the names inside: 

[tabread $1-freq]
[tabread $1-vol]
[tabread $1-pan]

etc. 

Ciao
