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

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.

@ 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

Dieter, your Beethoven example is an interesting challenge. Without worrying about the internal hows and whys, I believe PMX as is could handle the entire thing straightforwardly. That's because the only notes with 5 beams (in the 4th and last bars) are xtuplets, and there are no single notes with

Doing these empirical experiments without digging into the code is kind of fun. I started wondering whether PMX could do the 16-tuplet in the last bar of Dieter's example. (I had a vague recollection there was a limit on the number of notes in an xtuplet...and there is, but it's 24 notes) Anyhow,
