Re: [Tex-music] progress with XML2PMX

[Dieter]

Hi Don,

thanks! This will help, when I need it.

Other question: Why can I not influence the page layout by changing "h" 
to some smaller value.
I had thought, that "w" and "h" were the dimensions of the notes 
surrounding rectangle. But that does not seem to be the case.


Regards,
Dieter

Which would then be the  values for "w" and "h" in PMX compatible with A3-
Format (297 mm * 420 mm)?

The problem seems to be invariant with respect to "\vsize".

Maybe I have to put some other dvips parameters in order to print A3.

Thanks and regards,
Dieter

\vsize is larger than the default paper size.

They translate directly to \vsize and \hsize.

I think PMX takes them into account when deciding how long
a music line should be, and when to make a new page. So width
should be as you thought. But if your score needs more height
than "h" says, PMX can't do anything about it. It's your
responsibilty to either increase h or put some vspace-saving
instructions in. When I code a score in M-Tx, there is usually
  Space: -2 -3
or such to make it fit. It generates some direct MusiXTeX
commands that PMX can't see.

Hi Don,

I know of these problems. But I wonder whether it is worthwile to try to 
solve them automatically.


Once you have the PMX generated, you can do embellishments as you like.

Hi,

some of you will remember that I started working on a Converter from 
MusicXML to PMX more than a year ago.


Now it has got a certain mileage, but before publishing it, I want to 
show you some results for discussion.


/ActorPreludeSample.pdf /is the original notes sheet from Recordare Inc.

/ActPreSam48.PMX/ has been generated from the published MusicXML-file 
with almost no manual operations.


The only place, where  I had to tweak PMX a bit, was in measures 24 
and 25 for instruments 14, 18, 19 and 20,

where I could not place the dynamic marks automatically.
In the XML-Code the dynamic marks were located right at the beginning 
of the measure and not after the referenced note (like in PMX).


ActPreSam48.pdf is the result from running /ActPreSam48.pmx /with the 
latest PMXAB_2.71- (64Bit).


I would be pleased if someone could run the PMX, look at the error 
messages and warnings, like "more than 14 hairpins" etc.,
and tell me whether they are relevant or not and could or should be 
avioided.


Also what I do not understand, why the piece starts with an empty 
page. Any idea?


Regards Dieter
P.S. Thanks to Bob! the 64Bit version is the good one.
