Actually I meant H10.measurements.pd in the Pd docs, section 3.audio.examples.

It was much faster for me to just replace "lbang" with "loadbang".

abstractions, but only all of them or via namecanvas) by sending them a
"loadbang" message.

which you didn't seem to use. :)

I'd recommend to use $1, so people can specify their own target names.
