The purpose of a commandline parameter is to enable non-default behaviour that may in some situations be more convenient. I.e. pmxab myfile would do what it always did, but for example pmxab -X myfile would simply ignore PMX commands starting with X. Mamy of the A commands are candidates for commandline parameters. Putting them on the command line is an easy way to experiment without changing the source. ------------------------------- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
