Hi Marco

As I mentioned before:

:)

All the created abstractions are hidden in subpatches for signal-flow 
reasons, so they can't be GOP.

There is one, in "examples/04.gui2.pd" that does create a GUI. The 
created abstraction adds 2 sliders to a GOP in the main patch. Each 
instance sets the y position by knowing it's own position in the chain.

If they would have variable height this wouldn't work, instead I'd try 
to keep track of the height and y position with a [value] object.

Deleting one instance would have to redraw the whole GOP, which is a bit 
ugly but would work.

Did you manage to delete in your aproach?
