decide myself how many there will be and what their distance from
eachother should be). Currently, I do all hoses manually

There are plenty of other hose generators.  Mlcad, LDDP, ldglite,
and LEDIT mode for emacs all have them.  And I think some of them do

want.  The source is available and enhancements like these have been
discussed before, and aren't all that hard to make.  If you look here
you can see my attempt to adapt lsynth to handle the fixed length
50 segment rubber hoses.

It was mostly cut and paste.  What you're asking for sounds similar.
Perhaps it's time to review the old discussions and revive this topic?
I suppose it depends a bit on how far along Kevin is with the LPUB
beta development.

Enjoy,

Don
