Re: [Tex-music] Fwd: percussion notes with PMX and musixper
Error messages can be difficult to program, because its hard for the
programmer to anticipate everything that could go wrong. In this case, PMX
doesnt check anything about the next line after Ti; it just accepts it.
Then when \\input musixper\ was used as an
argument in the TeX macro \titles (from pmx.tex) something unanticipated
went haywire. This sort of thing happens all the time; you just have to get
used to it.

there is no reason for this "Ti" statement. It has survived some copy and
paste operation and escaped my attention. In my first test of your code I
erroneously removed the blank line after "Ti". But still I find this error
message kind off misleading. Anyhow, thanks again.

The problem was basically caused by your having used Ti and then leaving
the next line blank. When I first copied your original source into WinVi,
for some reason the blank line had disappeared, and the next line after Ti
was \\input musixper\ . I fixed it by
restoring the blank line after Ti, so that it contained a single blank
space. Maybe that wont work for you, but why in the world did you put in
Ti with no instrument name? Why not just get rid of the Ti??

Heres an example of how to use inline TeX to do what you did in
musixper_test. You could enhance macros /startper and /endper to include all
the other kinds of notes; you could make alternate macros for the other
kinds of percussion symbols, and you could include them all in a single tex
file which you could input from within the PMX source. The \global

This is great, but it requires to manually change the "final" PMX generated

And if this version is not 100 % final, then I have to do this more than
once.
Would it not be beautiful to have PMX-commands for bracketing a group
of percussion notes and to include this information in the PMX file?
Maybe with such a mechanism one could give other formatting hints to a
group of notes.
What do you think, Don?

command for "musixper.tex" and a decoration of the concerned notes with
"dc" after the backslash. There exists a variety of percussion fonts,
please see in the musixtex documentation on page 96 (section 2.23.18) .

Hi, Dieter—
Please make a sample available, including both the PMX file and the
altered TeX file. I will consider this, but I cannot make any promises.
I’m guessing there may be ways to do most if not everything you need
within the PMX file, using inline TeX. I realize that’s not as slick
as having PMX commands, but it is a lot better than having to edit the
TeX file. So that will be the first thing I explore.

*Subject:* [Tex-music] Fwd: percussion notes with PMX and musixper
Hi,
finally (after an interruption of several years ) I managed to produce
percussion notes with PMX and musixper, following an advice by Philipp Neukel.
This is great, but it requires to manually change the "final" PMX generated TeX
-version.
And if this version is not 100 % final, then I have to do this more than
once.
Would it not be beautiful to have PMX-commands for bracketing a group
of percussion notes and to include this information in the PMX file?
Maybe with such a mechanism one could give other formatting hints to a
group of notes.
What do you think, Don?
Regards,
Dieter
