#X text 18 51 The qlist object reads text files containing time-tagged
Pd messages. You can have them sequenced automatically (by sending
a "bang" message \, possibly changing speed via "tempo" messages) or
manually via the "rewind" and "next" messages.;
#X text 15 136 To run the qlist automatically \, send it a "read" message
(the filename is relative to the directory the patch is in) and later
a "bang." Messages in the file are separated by semicolons. Optional
leading numbers are delay times in milliseconds. If the tempo is diffrerent
from 1 the messages are sent faster or slower accordingly. Messages
should start with a symbol giving the destination object. In the file
"qlist.q" used here \, the messages go to objects "this" and "that"
which are receives below.;
#X text 17 281 To run it manually \, send "rewind" followed by "next".
All messages not preceeded by numbers are sent. As soon as a message
starting with one or more numbers is encountered \, the numbers are
output as a list. There are many ways you could design a sequencer
around this.;

#X text 22 362 You can also record textual messages and save them to
a file. Send "clear" to empty the qlist and "add" to add messages (terminated
with semicolons.) The message \, "add2" adds a list of atoms without
finishing with a semicolon in case you want to make variable-length
messages.;

#X text 653 341 This outlet gets a bang when you hit the end of the
sequence. In the file "qlist.txt" the end is delayed 1000 milliseconds
after the last message.;
