Skipping in pbind to a later event

Questions

Hello maybe an easy question but cant seem to find the solution.
I’m trying to write longer patterns now and i feel the need to skip the pattern to some certain point. Is there any way in doing so?

Basically i want to set an offset when playing the entire Pbind for all its inherent pattern methods. preferably this is configured somewhere at the play method. I hope this becomes clear in my example:

(
Pbind(
	\degree, Pseq([1,3,1,2],inf),
	\amp, Pseq([1,0.5,0.6],inf),
	\dur, Pseq([0.1,0.2],inf),
).play // how to make this skip 2?
)
//i can set to offset the pattern, but need to target each pattern individually. A pbind wide solution would be great
(
Pbind(
	\degree, Pseq([1,3,1,2],inf,2),
	\amp, Pseq([1,0.5,0.6],inf,2),
	\dur, Pseq([0.1,0.2],inf,2),
).play
)

thank you very much and merry Jesus day!

Check out Pdrop. You should be able to wrap it around your Pbind to achieve what you’re looking to do.

Cool thank you very much! The Solution is then quite simple!

(
Pdrop(1,Pbind(
	\degree, Pseq([1,3,1,2],inf),
	\amp, Pseq([1,0.5,0.6],inf),
	\dur, 2*Pseq([0.1,0.2],inf),
)).play;
)
