Nice one!
I haven't tried it yet, but I always enjoy your work and learn huge amounts by taking your patches apart and poking around inside.
Many thanks.

This is pretty exciting stuff! I've dreamt of having a basic tracker in Max - it really ought to be a built in object, kinda like the offspring of [coll] and [detonate] ;P

Unfortunately, I've had a few issues that are making it hard to use:
- occasionally the GUI is totally blank, and i have to reload the patch
- there's some bugginess when linking with [textedit], where either that object or the tracker doesn't display data as its being typed
- sometimes the output lags behind the row marker
Perhaps it's just my laptop though, 2011 MBP (maxed out).

Feature requests:
- customize colors
- horizontal markers, a la [live.grid]

I LOVE the functions you've built in, and I hope you continue to expand on them. I look forward to the development of this project!
btw I'm curious if you have thoughts on doing something like this but with [jit.cellblock]?
Pros & Cons?
Cheers
