Benjamin, Except for very simple things, I hardly use manipulate at all. In trying to do everything, Manipulate becomes very baroque and still doesn't do everything. In response to another question I presented a method for writing custom dynamic presentations that is rather easy and very general. http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2009/Feb/msg00409.html Specifically, you can layout the information and controls in any manner you want using Rows and Columns, Panes or Panels, Grids or TabViews or any other constructs. The problem of handling the calculation of dependent dynamic variables is also quite easy. It is easy to make custom dynamics and I think once people try it they would use Manipulate much less often. It is just easier to understand what is happening.

As it it the only placement alignment is either top, bottom left or right but only in column formats, I want to use rows. I'm using Mathematica v6.0.2. Benjamin Tubb www.pdmusic.org
