Well, ermm, several actually. In a way. The problem is that the namespace for [counter] is a bit polluted, meaning that there are different versions of [counter] in different libraries which do different things. I don't recall which libraries have one, so I never use any of them! In the help files, help/2.control.examples/05.counter.pd and 06.more.counters.pd are the standard ways of counting. See also the help file for [mod]. > also, i would very much want to see a list of objects available in pd. i > haven't seen one so far, so its difficult to know what objects are > installed and i can count with! > thanks for your help There's one for the core PD objects in help/5.reference/0.INTRO.txt Externals change from time to time, making it difficult to keep everything current.
