re: getting seed into vanilla (linux): I have the following in my pd-start-wrapper

-send "seed `date +%N | cut -c -3` "

this seeds random in a patch:

[ r seed ]
|
[ seed $1 (
|
[ random ]

I totally understand your approach, and agree that as a mod it's implemented quite elegantly. Sounds like esp 1) is what's keeping it out of mainstream vanilla.

I'm on linux...

Here are screenshots of "small" zoom, "big" zoom and then the "small" zoom manually made 2x as big in gimp. Except for the blur (obviously), I'd expect the path of the curves in the "big" zoom to look like the manually enlarged one. For instance notice how the curve goes into the metro on the small one, but doesn't on the zoomed in one.

After running the mod a few days here are a few observations

1. selecting a chord seems to be a bit off, almost like you need to click where the “old” straight chord would have been.
2. setting curved lines in menu and save all prefs should save curves as well (shouldn’t be defined in tcl).
3. it doesn’t scale with ctrl+, I expected the curves to be twice as big, but they are the same, except obviously connecting to points further apart.

I have no idea how hard it would be to change any of the above, or if that’s the reason it’s not accepted in vanilla (or even if it’s been discussed/proposed).

Thanks, that worked great!

Could you explain what pdnext is? I'm not sure if this is your fork with unofficial mods or the official repo or something completely different....

I'd love me some bezier patch chords Is it possible with vanilla (0.51.4)? If not, what's the steps I need to take to try it out? I'm on linux if that matters...
