Hi Don,
thanks a lot for your rapid reply. I do not remember what I intended
with "Aa" 2 years ago.
Maybe just experimentation.
This code has been running before. Would have been impossible to write it.
Otherwise I agree completely with your recommendations.
Maybe there are more error traps with similar behaviour? Just a question.
Regards, Dieter

We can share the blame for this one. The option Aa must be followed by a
decimal number giving the new \afterruleskip (spacing before the first note
in a bar) in \elemskips. The next character in your file is not a digit or
decimal point, but I neglected to trap this error. Will fix in the next
release.
Out of curiosity, what don't you like about the default \afterruleskip?
Also out of curiosity, how did you manage to input so much error-free stuff
without being able to process it?
Comment: To my eye it comes out crowded horizontally. I'd go with 18 systems
on 3 (letter-size) pages, and set AI.9 to reduce \interstaff and increase
vertical space between staves. Might be a little different for a4 paper.

Subject: [Tex-music] funny error with PMX
Hi Don,
I have strange problem in running a PMX-file which has been perfectly
running some years ago.
When I try to run it it says:
============================================================
Opening minimood.pmx
Starting first PMX pass
forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit -5, file Internal
Formatted Re
ad
D:\MUSIX\mood>if errorlevel 1 goto pmxerr
=============================================================
and later it says:
====================================================
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9)
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `minimood'.
===============================================
This is the beginning of the file, which reproduces the behaviour. Full
file attached to Mail.

I have seen this behaviour before, and I only remember that it was
completely stupid, but not what to do.
Other files, where I cannot see a significant formal difference to this
one run perfectly with my installation.
As you know, I am using Windoze. I cannot discover any funny character
in the file.
Don't hurry, I will be several days away without access to mail.
Thanks and regards,
Dieter
