argument::proportion
a pattern that returns either numbers (divides the pattern into pairs) or arrays of size n which are used to split up the input into n parts.

argument::pattern
a numerical pattern.

Examples::

code::
// divide 1 into various proportions
(
a = Prorate(Pseq([0.35, 0.5, 0.8]), 1);
x = a.asStream;
x.nextN(8)
)

// divide a pattern into various proportions
(
a = Prorate(Pseq([0.35, 0.5, 0.8]), Prand([20, 1], inf));
x = a.asStream;
x.nextN(8)
)


// divide 1 into several parts
(
a = Prorate(Pseq([[1, 2], [5, 7], [4, 8, 9]]).collect(_.normalizeSum), 1);
x = a.asStream;
x.nextN(8)
)


// sound example

(
SynthDef(\help_sinegrain,
	{ arg out=0, freq=440, sustain=0.05;
		var env;
		env = EnvGen.kr(Env.perc(0.01, sustain, 0.2), doneAction: Done.freeSelf);
		Out.ar(out, SinOsc.ar(freq, 0, env))
	}).add;
)

(
var a, x;
a = Prorate(
	Prand([2/3, 1/3, [0.3, 0.3, 0.4], [0.6, 0.4]], inf),
	Pseq([1, 2, 1, 3, 12], inf)
);

3.do {
	{
	var x = a.asStream;
	var freq = rrand(72, 84).midicps;
		loop {
			Synth(\help_sinegrain, [\freq, freq]);
			(0.25 * x.next).wait;
		}
	}.fork;
};
