newbie orientation querry

Hello Lemur Community
I am a new user and new to OSC with a few questions .
1) I have discovered an unusual behaviour in with the multiball mapping. In particular with a project that was part of the tutorials in the lemur manual. The project is a multiball object that has its number of balls controlled by two pads, incrementing and decrementing the number of balls (page 77).
What happens that seems abnormal is if you run the project with 1 multiball and map that ball's x & y values via the osc "client" all works fine (In my case /Multiball/x and ../y). When you increase the number of balls the original mapping is lost and it becomes necessary to remap as a result of the OSC multiball object having a new identity, being /Multiball/x//1.
I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the osc protocol in that all singular objects don't require the code "//1 or //0" to be concatenated to designate the first object in an array or if its an implementation oversight by Liine or a client implementation issue .
It's not a huge issue but a tedius thing to keep track of with complex mappings particullarly when only one object is required for certain controller mappings and you eventually want to increase the number of objects. What I mean is if i prepare any sounds mapping with the intent to use multiple balls then the first ball will always be an object without any mapping just a place holder to keep all other balls' mappings in place.
Also its such a handy piece of code that i could imagine myself utilizing frequently but having one object always taking up space without any function is counter to the point of the code.
Hopefully that's clear. Any suggestions how to circumvent this issue?
2) Is it possible to import a project from the Lemur app that has been saved on the ipad to the Lemur editor?
3) Alt Drag and Drop from the project editor to the library doesn't work on 10.6. I read early on that was the key cmd but that functionality isn't working here (user error or did..?
