I'm in complete agreement with this approach :->

It's a data-representation problem.

When musical timing data are represented as inter-onset intervals
(IOIs, or in SC terms, "delta"), then it's a real problem to insert
something at a specific point in the bar because, just from looking at
the data as given, you don't know the absolute time points.

If instead musical timing data are represented as absolute positions
(either within a bar or across multiple bars), then inserting at a
specific point becomes easy: drop it into the array, in order, and
when it plays, recalculate deltas on the fly.

My livecoding dialect does likewise, though it comes with some baggage
that Panola likely doesn't have.
