[PD] newbie: Feedback and questions

Hello PD Virtuosi:

Imagine my delight when I first enrolled in the PD list a few days ago 
to find that you've all resolved to give up grumpiness so as not to put 
off newbies like me!  It gave me courage to put forward my first effort 
for criticism and feedback.

The patch implements a tone generator for Pythagorean tuning with 
syntonic comma offsets.  I hope it will help my renaissance flute 
consort to learn to play in just intonation in the style of Zarlino.  
So, it has to be usable by non-electronic music people.    It does what 
I want.  I would appreciate if anyone could review it for style and 
understanding.  I suspect that I have done some unnecessary things do to 
my imperfect understanding

One thing in particular that it does in a way I don't like is setting 
the note name.  I would prefer to pass the note name as an argument to 
the noteSelector abstraction instead of having that bit of [set( and 
[send] circuitry off to the side of the noteSelector, but I couldn't 
figure out how.

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Cheers, David
