Description:
A box representing an object inside a maquette.
TemporalBoxes can refer eitheir to objects, to patches producing such objects, or to internal maquettes. (This reference corresponds to the slot <reference>.)
They have accessible graphical and temporal properties (slots <offest>, <extend>, <colorframe>, <posy>, <stretch-fact>, <sizey>).
<stretch-fact> corresponds to a possible stretching resulting from user interaction in the Maquette editor. Therefore the real duration of the box corresponds to <extend> * <stretch-fact>.
A TemporalBox is supposed to yield a musical result to integrate in a temporal context (a maquette). This result is stored AS A LIST in the slot <value>.
