You don't need [once] anymore, it can be replaced by:

        [r close]
        | 
[spigot 1]
[t a b]
|    [0(
|    [s close]

Since about pd-0.37 [spigot] evaluates its first argument and is open,
if you have a non-null arg.

I'm planning to, but its interface (inlet and outlet behaviour) is
still not finished and I'm considering a different name, maybe
[list-multicounter] or something like that. As you remarked, it's not
only useful for ryhthms.

Yes, you can use it as intervals. In fact, list-rhythm is heavily
influenced by Godfried Toussaint's work. He sometimes notes the
similarities between the rhythmic intervals in african music and the
intervals in the pentatonic scale.
