I would estimate I've added .get() in 90% of all cases and only returned / passed a ref counted pointer where the caller & callee actually takes / shares the ownership.
Great, thank you for the answers and sorry for interrupting your vacation.
Sorry for teasing, the comment is from a commit (see .gitmodules ;-) )
I'll have a closer look at the develop branch. My questions stem from the fact that I never used the full features of HISE, and actually the clients codebase doesn't either, even though it is based on an old export.
Maybe I will know more details next week when you are back.
