How about defining equates at the top of your file for your equates?
OFFSET equ $1000 ; only need to change this
BeatBox_l equ beatBox - OFFSET
routine2_l equ routine2 - OFFSET
Then it would be jsr BeatBox_l, jsr routine2_l etc.
alternatively you could have a jsr macro... don't recall the format of the
macros, but something like...
MACRO LJSR %1
jsr %1 - $1000
MEND
Then you just go LJSR beatBox
Not ideal techniques, I know.
