Yes, that's why I always thought its more important to retrieve an 
existing name than creating or renaming the object. If I rename it 
myself, there is a certain chance that it will either create a conflict 
or is #0_UGLY...

I have a js which actually retrieves the number out of the 
MyBpatchername[xx] notation. That way I can easily get rid of the 
necessity of opening multiple inspectors for only changing a single number.
What is missing for me, is to retrieve the actual size of the bpatcher 
from inside probably with js as well. I want to adjust UI elements 
according to the size of the bpatcher...
