there might be, but a) I have no interest or purpose on doing it, and b)  
there wouldn't be any really useful abstractions coming out of this. in  
fact, it might even make my programming slower (because I would have to  
manage x programs instead of 1), and the whole thing more confusing to  
manage.

how does this auto generation works? I looked at it, but I don't know tcl,  
and can't really learn it now (and really don't want to learn it). Since  
there is no submission/peer review process for externals in pd-extra, I  
would like to keep updating my list, but in an automatic way. I was  
thinking of an approach of something that goes through the folders and  
makes a database out of the files(objects) that it finds. not perfect, as  
there will be exceptions to manage, but better than doing it by hand  
(which is how I did the list so far).

that's the same thing. then you'll be loosing time by typing a score which  
has always the same rhythm/tempo. better put a metro with a mod, and you  
have it.
the music for which the program is made is more like:
