Can you send the mtx or pmx input file?

Hi Don, thanks for your rapid reply.
on a WIndows/miktex installation it works perfectly as you suggested
putting
the w and h command in PMX and setting the -tlandscape
option in the call to DVIPS.
However I do have another problem. I have a choir example with two staves
and 5 verses (typeset with Musixlyr) between the staves. And I need more
space between the staves.
I was not successful to resolve the problem with the PMX option AI[x] .
I know I must do something to the interinstrument distance, but I am not
so
familiar with MusixTeX.
Thanks and kind regards
Dieter

Within PMX it's pretty easy. Right after the setup data, just set the
width and height of the printed area with built-in PMX commands. For
example, for U.S. lettersize with 1/2 in margins, right after the
setup data put
w10i
h7.5i
From that point forward, it's probably system dependent. For myself,
under
Windows 7, in my test I found that no changes were needed when running
TeX.
For dvips, I used
dvips -tlandscape file.dvi
I can't say whether you'd need a different option for European size
paper.
Also, you might want to tweak the vertical and horizontal position of
the postscript output with dvips command line options like
-o0.25in,-0.22in; I didn't mess with that in my test and the
postscript output looks slightly low and to the left of center.
When I converted the .ps to .pdf using convert in
gsview32/ghostscript, and opened the result in Acrobat, it looked OK,
the same as the .ps
I also found reference to a postscript special which might provide an
alternate approach, but didn't experiment with it. You could enter the
special via type 4 inline TeX at the top of the PMX file:
---
\special{papersize=11in,8.5in}%
---
but from then on you're on your own.

Hi,
could anybody please tell me, how to influence the paper format when
typesetting music with PMX?
Thanks and regards,
Dieter
