Source names as number?

Spat
#1

Hi T.
In Spat 4 it was possible to give sources a number as a name, whereas in spat 5 I have an error. Why?

Hi,
You’ll just have to make it a string argument.

Ok, I thought about that but, since in my patch I send source names with a list, it didn’t work.
I’ve transformed the patch so that if I give as a name a number it’s transformed into a symbol and it works.
Thanks!
