Thanks indeed, all of you. The correction you made works fine for me.
Unfortunately, similar errors are produced also with the other files from
Clementi sonatinas, and also with Chopin waltzes. With Clementi I tried with
no success to delete the last `pi' similarly as you did, whereas processing
waltzafm.pmx produces:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is PMX, Version 2.7 , 3 Apr 13
Opening waltzafm.pmx
Starting first PMX pass
ERROR in line 61, bar 0 Illegal character in MIDI input data
v
It138i2:2
^
May be too many args to i,v,b, or T. As of Ver. 2.7, should be noinst, not nv
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's a pity, because really the process pmx -> tex is useful for what I want...
Neither do I have the knowledge now to do myself the corrections. And we're
probably talking of quite a lot of files to re-edit.
Thanks,
Rodolfo
