Hi,

just as a quick (and not at all exhaustive) reply: You might want to have a look at `run_file` and `run_code` in the lang doc. I use `run_file` to run code (synchronized) within my [live looper](http://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/live-looper-with-touchosc-control/363/21). Admittedly this is not exactly an answer to your proposal. But it might serve the same purpose.
