Of course. For building blocks at this level, that's entirely appropriate. It's when you build complex multichannel systems from these blocks that schematics become incomprehensible. > > >> The key strength of gEDA here is that you can do this any way you >> need to for your specific project. >> > > Well, as we have seen with slotted parts, not any way it's needed.

If you wanted to, you could no doubt solve it with a little scripting (I'm still not sure exactly what you want: I can't read your mind either). But you'd have to cross a line you've drawn. gEDA is for those who enjoy crossing such lines, I think.
