I think I understand the words, but it seems that you're asking for
something that PMX already does. As you rightly state, it is true that PMX
may redefine \raisebarno in order to avoid collision with a linebreak tie,
and that this new positioning of the bar number remains in effect either
until the end of the piece or until yet another '\def\raisebarno' is
invoked. What you don't state, but is also true, is that immediately after
the shifted bar number is posted (via \alaligne), PMX does issue another
redefinition of \raisebarno, back to the PMX default value. That's what
happens in the lines
\def\raisebarno{5.5\internote}%
\alaligne
\def\raisebarno{3.5\internote}%
which were all generated by PMX.
Where did 3.5\internote come from? It's PMX's baseline value of \raisebarno.
It is always defined at that value by pmx.tex. (musixtex.tex defines it at
4\internote, but I guess I liked 3.5 better as a rule.) There is one
situation where PMX defines a different baseline--when there are 3 sharps
and treble clef--but I'm afraid I can't recall exactly what logic led to
this. In any event PMX keeps track of the baseline, and the second
invocation of \def\raisebarno sets it back to the baseline.
Where did 5mm come from? I'm not sure, but it suggests you may want the PMX
user to be able to set the value of the baseline to something other than
3.5\internote. That is certainly something I could consider enabling, and it
probably wouldn't be that difficult. But recall that's only one of several
attributes of bar numbering that Hermann wanted to change. It would be
rather difficult at this point to get PMX to optionally make the other
changes than Hermann wanted (change the font, remove the box), or more
generally to allow all the MusiXTeX options for bar numbering.
I realize that I've asked for something that pmxab can't easily do in
runtime: in order to accomplish what I ask for pmxab would need to parse
in-line MusiXTeX statement(s) near the top of the .pmx source file
dealing with \raisebarno and store the value(s) as replacement for the
default PMX configuration of \raisebarno.
So accomplishing what Hermann asked for within 'plain pmx' would
probably require additional user configurable bar number options in the
pmx preamble as you suggested in a prior posting. I second Hermann's
wish for a feature like that.

What would be more difficult is making the bar numbering a lot more
flexible. But all along I figured if people didn't like the default they
could fix it with inline TeX.
However, if you only want to alter the position of the bar number on a
one-time basis, there is an undocumented macro in pmx.tex called \bnrs (bar
number raise shift). It has two arguments, the amount to raise it (in
\internote) and the amount to shift if horizontally (in notehead widths).

This shifts the 3rd system's bar number to left. But the same issue applies
as with the baseline behavior: some of the redefinitions I used here could
confuse or get confused by other redefinitions that a user might try.
The problem with this solution is that the evocation of \bnrs only
affects the current bar. If you apply it to bar 14 of the pmx source in
question (*) it does fix the problem for bar 14. But in the subsequent
bars the bar numbers are still displaced. Actually I believe that this
behavior is an 'exotic feature' (bug?) in pmx. IMHO pmx should store the
current settings for the bar number positioning before calculating the
offset caused by a continuation slur. At the subsequent bar the original
positioning settings should be restored from the saved values.

I wasn't proposing \bnrs as a solution to Hermann's issue. I was just
describing it so people could use it as intended if they wished.
As I understand it, Hermann wants to do three things, (1) change the font ,
(2) remove the box, and (3) raise the position globally from the default. I
assume Olivier's solution accomplishes this. \bnrs is not intended to do any
of these, it's just supposed to change the position of the next bar number,
and not change anything else from the PMX defaults. And as I mentioned, it
may interact in unexpected ways if there are any redefinitions.
Nevertheless, in experimenting with Hermann's example, I have discovered an
issue with \bnrs, although I don't think it's what Christian has mentioned.
After commenting out Hermann's redefinitions and inserting a few \bnrs both
before and after bar 14, I notice that after the PMX-generated tweak at 14
(due to the linebreak tie), the vertical offset in \bnrs is ignored (but the
horizontal one is observed). I'll spend some time looking into how to fix
this, probably by having PMX issue a \bnrs when the number has to be moved
for a linebreak tie (instead of explicitly redefining \raisebarno as is now
done). And who know, maybe in the process I'll stumble across an easy way to
deal with Hermann's wishes within PMX.

I've obviously expressed myself unclearly. My wish for change does not
refer to the macro \bnrs but to the fortran routine calculating
deviations from the initial bar number position. This routine checks for
potential clashes between a barnumber and a continuation slur. If a
clash is determined the fortran routine inserts an addition invocation
of '\def\raisebarno'. This new positioning of the barnumber remains in
effect either until the end of the piece or until yet another
'\def\raisebarno' is invocated.
My suggestion is that the existing value of \raisebarno is stored before
invocating '\def\raisebarno'. In the subsequent bar, if no potential
clash is calculated, then '\def\raisebarno' should be invoked once more
with the stored setting as argument, for example:
% Bar count 14
%
% temporarily modify \raisebarno in order to
% avoid clash with continuation slur

Re: Re: [TeX-music] Barnumbers
Good idea about the local shifts, I hadn't thought of that.
If I allow a generous set of options in PMX, then PMX can construct the
specific TeX to get the desired format, without adding stuff to pmx.tex.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned numbering at a regular frequency rather than
at the start of each system. Doesn't anyone want that option? I suppose I could
browse thru the archive to see what folks have done.

To: Typesetting music with TeX [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: [TeX-music] Barnumbers
What's about defining something like
\def\writebarno{\ifnum\barno1\formatbarno{\the\barno}\barnoadd\fi}
\def\formatbarno#1{\lrlap{\tenrm\it#1}} % (to stay with Hermann's
example)
in pmx.tex? Redefining of the output is then much easier, any fancy
formatting would be possible this way.
Other proposition (might be there's already something similar
available): global and local position shift of the numbering to avoid
clashes not detected by PMX/MusiXTeX.

I invite proposals for an alternate style for bar numbers. I could make it
an A option in PMX. Please provide a PMX input snippet with in-line TeX
to illustrate your proposal. There could even be more than one alternate
style. I don't think this would be very hard to implement in PMX.

This would be a very good option.
I used the following redefintion (which I found in a score of the archive but
forgot the author) to set barnumbers as italics
\\def\writebarno{\ifnum\barno1\lrlap{\tenrm\it\the\barno\barnoadd}\fi}\
\\def\raisebarno{5mm}\

I support Hermann's suggestion, which is similar, allthough not fully
identic with the in-line bar numer code I use to apply in my
typesettings. The basic idea is to 'get rid of' boxes around barnumbers,
but there might be different preferences for font size- and style and
for placement. Hence it might be worth while considering additional
optional arguments to the box number command allowing the typesetter to
overide defaults. The font size selected in the TeX code should be
relative to the overall selection of music size.

Re: [TeX-music] Barnumbers
|do you know what is the reason to put the barnumbers into a box as |default for MusixTeX and PMX although this seems to be quite unusual? Probably just an idiosyncracy of Daniel Taupin and/or Andreas Egler. Bob T. ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
