Normally in PD (not dynamically) you can make two subpatches with the same name and edit one without affecting the other. I'm wondering if it is somehow possible to achieve this when dynamically creating a subpatch. The problem is that when you create more than one subpatch with the same name, all contents added to the 2nd one are re-added in the first (and so on).

I know I could use variables when creating the subpatch name, but in the end this would make things worse trying to remember which names/# variants were used.

The other option would be using abstractions but editing them individually is a pain.

Are you just trying to duplicate a subpatch? If so, maybe you could do something like in Manuals -> pd-msg -> msg_and_patch -> 3.2.cut_paste.pd.

Oh I completely forgot about that. Yah that's basically what I'm trying to do - that way they can be edited easily and without consequence. I'll look into it and see if it can work.

Looks like I can make a separate subpatch containing the subpatch to be copied and then fit the copy/paste messages into the creation sequence. Very cool. Thanks.
