Re: [Tex-music] 128th notes and rests in PMX?

It is amazing, what PMX can do. The most important use cases for 128th notes seem alredy to be covered by PMX. And I wonder whether there exists any piece of music, which contains a combination of lone 128th notes and rests. It might be difficult to identify all these special case in the

@ Dirk: I wonder whether you regard the Beethoven Piano Sonata in c-minor, op. 13 as repertoire. @ Don: I do not have the faintest idea, why and how you produce the 128th in the sample. In case you change your mind and find some time for analyzing the problem, I would offer my time to help in

Hi Don, your approach to use an integer for timing is similar to what MusicXML does. But they are using an integer parameter "dimensions", which signifies the duration of a quarter note. Everything else is being calculated relative to this value. It can be chosen according to needs (e.g.

This is not an unreasonable request. But it would be very challenging, for reasons that go beyond my fading memory of deep, dark details about how I implemented time-handling in PMX. I had originally set up an internal time scale proportional to the duration of each note. I represented that scaled
