problem with live.path

[synnack]

I've been racking my brain trying to make live.path do anything that it seems it should do in what documentation is there. All the commands i send it seem to output "invalid syntax" to the max window.



Below is a basic patch which just has a recreation of this in it. Can anyone else try this and tell me if it outputs the number of tracks correctly for them? I just don't get it, unless it's a bug. (copy the text below, then choose File, "new from clipboard")
