There are no parentheses problems in my patch.  I build it just fine on
my machine and have been using it since.  Maybe your email client added
some noise?  There’s an added semicolon on the mailing list archives
after URLs, but that’s not in my outgoing email.

I don’t mind much where it’s put.  I only have encountered Pd in
audio/music setups, although it is a visual data flow language, so I put
it in music.scm.
