[PD] Maybe I'm pushing dynamic object creation too far

Nope!

It's in PD/GEM only. I sent the percussionist the score patch, with the external 

in a folder called ext/.
The object creation manager was loaded within the patch thus: 
[ext/gemnotes_counter]
The point is - he doesn't know anything about programming PD or compiling 
software, and it ran straight away with Pd-extended straight from the emailed 
patch.

I suppose that's good, but I'm anxious now to sort out a 2D engine for PD. I'm 
using an industrial digger with GEM, when I should be using a spade! I'm not 
really a graphics programmer, (in fact I have no training as a programmer) so 
this is quite a challenge for me. PD was telling me that the CPU load was about 
112% just for the score on my 2.2GHz dual core.

Or perhaps there's something out there that could be ported.

PS - I'm over it. If I wanted to be the first I should have learned how to 
program in 1997, not 2005!
