Hi Fred Jan, What features do you find in the xeq library which couldn't be sustainably implemented with abstractions?
What features it contains is to be found out. For a great part, they probably could be implemented as abstractions. The Context (v2) implementation by Liam Goodacre proves this is possible.
At the existing documentation is outdated and incomplete, and so is the list of features. Looking at the code gives only hints of features. You have to know about sequencer usage to interpret these hints correctly.

Xeq is a sequencer suite inspired by the [qlist] object, but extended by several useful features, only very rudimentary described. At least it supports midi files, searching for note sequences in its dictionaries, and maybe even some sort of programming to control sequence parsing. At the moment, xeq compiles but because of the very limited documentation; an outdated paper and a few poorly documented patches its usage range is unknown. To some extend I can fix bugs when it is clear what the proper behaviour is, but my knowledge of advanced sequencer usage is too limited to find out how it should work. This also limits my capability to create useful help-patches. So I am seeking help from someone with more than average knowledge of sequencers. I am aware that software can be too complicated to be useful, so at one point the conclusion could be that xeq is not worth the effort to document and debug it. But so far the framework looks well structured, and some of the charted functionality is working very well. For testing the source is available at https://github.com/electrickery/pd-xeq/tree/experimentalReconstruction, <https://github.com/electrickery/pd-xeq/tree/experimentalReconstruction,> but I can provide a deken like zip with an executable and available documentation for all the usual platforms. No stabilility is guaranteed, but it sure it will be 'interesting' (if you like sequencers ;-).
