Many thanks for making these, Jonathan. A couple things that may streamline your future tutorial videos is to use Pd-L2Ork version of tidy:

1) create an object (e.g. a number)
2) duplicate n times
3) select all created number objects
4) press ctrl+y to line them up all horizontally (pd-l2ork picks the closest axis with horizontal being preferred when distance between both is the same)
5) press ctrl+y once again to space them evenly so that they don't overlap

tl;dr version: press ctrl+y twice

Another thing to point out is when you try to connect one object's outlets to multiple objects or multiple objects into one object's inlets, pd-l2ork picks the best option that yields most valid connections.

Finally, when patching two objects with many nlets (e.g. unpack n -> pack n), pd-l2ork will patch as many connections as possible. So, if you select 3rd outlet (out of let's say 5), and the 1st inlet on a 5 inlet receiving object, pd-l2ork will create 3 valid connections (3->1, 4->2, and 5->3).

Best wishes,

Ico

Here are some videos of the multiconnect feature set Ivica added to Pd-l2ork:

1. One object's outlets to many objects' inlets:

* all objects are selected to get this functionality

2. Many objects' outlets to one object's inlet:
http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/mc2.webm/view

* objects to connect _from_ are selected, object to connect _to_ are deselected to get this functionality

3. One object's leftmost inlet to many objects:

* objects to connect _to_ are selected, object to connect _from_ is deselected to get this functionality
