Andre, thanks for the report. It reminds me a little of the kinds of bugs that Werner was so good at finding, where numerous stars had to be aligned before they were revealed.
I think I have a fix. It turns out PMX was misreading both the first and fourth .'s (if you replace r+0.g with f.g , it complains that the barline comes in the wrong place). In response to the +'s, PMX was calling a general number reading routine (for integers and floating numbers) that sucked up the . when it shouldn't have (EXACTLY AS DIRK HAD PREDICTED!). The easiest fix is to check whether the last character of the "number" is . and if so, just back up the pointer by one before moving on. Now here's a major irony and a minor mystery. PMX goes thru the whole input file twice. The first time it just looks for syntax errors and does a little accounting. The second time it does the real work. All the stuff in the previous paragraph came from my looking at the first pass. After I fixed it, Andre's file went thru fine. But when I changed the rest offsets to non-zero integers, the printed rests were still not offset. !!?? So I started looking in the second-pass subroutine, and I found this comment: c Kluge in case there is a shortcut ".". It will have been sucked up by c readnum. (Same doesn't hold for ",") So sometime in the deep dark past I had recognized exactly the issue that Andre revealed. But not only had I failed to address it in the first pass, here in the second pass I had indeed backed up the pointer, but then bypassed recording the rest offset. Hopefully this will all be fixed in the next release, which should be coming out once I decide how to deal with my newest fetish, which is "bowed tremolos". --Don From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Andre Van Ryckeghem Sent: Friday, February 24, 2017 10:57 PM To: Werner Icking Music Archive <tex-music@tug.org> Subject: [Tex-music] r+0.g error? At the 'r+0.g' i get the error for the 'g': illegal character, ASCII code 103. On the other places the 'g' is ok. All other chars give no error.
