Summary: pix_snap help patch

Initial Comment:
According to pix_snap's help patch, one would expect that all you need to have 
pix_snap take a snapshot is to send it a "snap" message at an arbitrary moment, 
but that won't work.

The only way it works, is to send it the snap message just before the gemlist 
(0 ligical time before), i.e. with a [t a b]. This should definitely be 
mentioned in the help patch.

The current help patch gives no clue that the attached example test_snap.pd 
won't work and that in order to make it work you need to do like shown in 
attached test_snap_2.pd

The attached file snap_bare_minimum.pd shows the bare minimum (i think) which 
is needed to succesfully take a snapshot and I think something like this should 
be shown in the help patch.

By the way it would also be worth mentioning that a bang works as a synonim of 
"snap", though many will guess that.
