Hello!
i also found this app by hisschemoeller very inspiring.
i looked at your examples and found the solutions with writing
the steps into an array quite easy and straight forward, compared
to the effort needed when using lists. 
the patterns actually look the same, compared to the ones created
in hisschmoellers`flash app and the distribution is just mirrored.
so just changing the read-direction of [counter] and there you are.

though the flash app (at hisschemoeller.com)
produces soemthing like x..x..x.x.x.
the number and length of rests is the same in this case,
but the distribution is different. if you, instead of
rounding, just cut the fractional part, you get the same
result as the flash app, only mirrored, but this
seems not to work for other numbers.

i have attached my own quick and dirty
itterative attempt, but i think it should also
be possible to implement with operations on lists,
like in the ruinwesen example. but i am not that familliar
with this in pd...

bis denn!
