Hello All: I'm hoping to develop a patch where phrase length is set by a table, but once a new phrase starts, it can route to different subroutines. I have a structure that reads through the list of phrase lengths (in measures), but I need to delay the start of the next phrase by (phrase length X 4 X time per beat). I thought the patch below would do this, but it doesn't seem to.

@jbohn This should work...... live-b.pd ..... maybe.
I think you need to read https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13320/welcome-to-the-forum ...... and it is a good idea to use triggers to ensure the correct order of operations where necessary. They also help us to see how your patch works when you upload it for us.

Thanks so much. Both the patch and the order of operations reading is very helpful!
