hello,

A while ago I had a related problem, (iirc, starting pd with -alsamidi
flag didn't show the midi ports to aconnect rightaway)

I did this:
use [r pd]--[print] to see what pd gets sent when you click the menu,
and use pd -alsamidi -send "; pd ...whatever the message was"

so my start-up command looked somewhat like this:
pd -alsamidi -send "; pd midi-dialog 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1"

It did _not_ work when I tried it inside the pd patch with a [message(,
but only by putting this in the start-up command.

gr,
Tim
