Hi Luigi,
you are perfectly right with the stem directions. I am still in a phase
of prototyping where I try to catch as much information as possible from
the XML Format.
The same is true for beams. For example in the Telemann Flute Fantasy
every beam is explicitely described in the XML code, whereas when I
discard the beam information, PMX and MusixTex produce 99 % of the
beaming as desired. Only one beam with a 16th rest in the middle has to
be manually inserted.
So whenever my development goes into production it should have options
to switch stems and beams on or off.
Anyhow I am not very satisfied with the XML code. It is not really
standardized. Every Software maker has some specialties like <dot/> or
<dot /> for a dotted note.
And so there are many IF THEN ELSE statements in my program code. And it
is not just a logical description of the music, but contains a lot of
detailed dimensioning, where to put texts etc.
So it looks more like Powerpoint for Music.
Regards,
Dieter

WIth Tenor clef it looks much better.
Regards, DIeter
Dear Dieter,
tenor clef is the right choice, but I think that the problem comes with the
fact that every note has own stem direction inserted in the code, like, I
suppose, happens to the xml code. One of the better feature of PMX is that not
all the specifications of the note are needed for each note. Isn't possible to
omit in the resulting PMX code the information about the stem direction (l or
u), or, better, let the choice to the user if include or not this information
in the resulting PMX code?
The same happens for the octave specification of the note, but in this case the problem,
I suppose, is bigger, because "if the note is more than a fourth away from the most
recent note" octave number or +/- is requested. Nevertheless with those two features
should be possible traspositions.
A sincere compliment for your work.
Luigi
