A fluid.datasetfilter~ object for conditional querying

You’d need to know that at some point in any scenario, no? And if it changes, you just send a names message again.

Is what you’re after something where you can specify a range as part of making your names, e.g.

names loudness[4] pitch[2] timbre[12]

as a shorthand for saying your data is laid out as four columns of loudness, two of pitch and twelve of timbre?
And then you’d like to have an addrange that would accept a range label like

addrange pitch-> addrange 4 2

? But also to address columns within a named range using a dot-notation like

addcolumn pitch.0

?

That complicates the abstraction somewhat, and adds some overhead (which would be true whatever language it were written in), but still within the bounds of very-possible-in-Max
