Hi Don, it is amazing how easy it is to use the cue notes with PMX. I will try and fiddle a bit with the X-command. May I ask another question? I try using \boxit or \circleit in PMX for rehearsal marks. But they always drop inside the stave. How could I move these boxes above stave? Or is there another solution.

First, good job simplifying the procedure for making notes smaller. As for shrinking the spacing, once again I have a klunky answer but not a good one. The PMX command X can be used with a negative argument, so for example X-.5 will shrink the local space by 0.5 notehead widths. Problem is that you’d need to put in a separate one of these in EVERY space you wanted to shrink, and if you wanted to maintain the right scaling, you’d need different amounts of shrinkage for different length notes. Maybe Andre can come up with a better way J. --Don *From:*TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-bounces+dsimons=roadrunner....@tug.org] *On Behalf Of *Dieter *Sent:* Thursday, April 11, 2019 4:56 AM *To:* tex-music@tug.org *Subject:* Re: [Tex-music] PMX: switch to smaller notes type (German "Stichnoten") Hi Don, Thanks for your rapid help. I 'm sorry for being so imprecise. What I really wanted is this: This is an excerpt from the 1st violin of the 1st Symphonie of Mahler. Is there a way to compress the cue notes horizontally?

Short answer: it’s not easy. You have to use inline TeX. There are some macros in pmx.tex that simplify some things a little bit: \def\smno#1{\off{.17\qn@width}\tinynotesize#1\normalnotesize\off{-.17\qn@width}}% \def\pmno#1{\roffset{.08}{\smallnotesize#1\normalnotesize}}% \def\smq#1{\smno{\zql{#1}}}\def\smc#1{\smno{\zcl{#1}}}% \def\smh#1{\smno{\zhl{#1}}}% But you’re going to have to do some work to get horizontal spacing right for your example, since while \smno makes the notes small, it uses the \noteskip that’s already been set. Here’s a short example you should study, extracted from my published edition of Nicola Matteis “Ayres for Violin, the Fourth Part”: ================================= 1 1 2 4 0 6 0 0 1 2 20 0.08 t .\ \smh0\islurd34\ bd44u [u c1 \tslur36\ d ] / % Bar 1-5 \\\advance\barno-1\ <file:///\\\advance\barno-1\> m4400 \smh0\ c25u r8 [u c su+6-.3 \smq0\ b c1 b s+7+.5 ] | \smh0\ a2 r1 [u a su+8-.3 b c ] \smq{-1}\ bd8 os-1 a1 s+8+.5 | \smh{-3}\ gs2 r8 [u b \smc0\ bd s c3 d s ] \smh0\ c2u r1 [u c s d e ] \smq{-1}\ [u dd8 c1 s ] \smh{-1}\ b2u r8 [u g85 \smc6\ fd os e1 ] / % Bar 6-10 \smh5\ e25u r4 \smno{\ibl43{-6}\zqbp45}\ [u ad8 \smno{\tbbl4\tbl4\zqb41}\ a14 ] \smh1\ b2u r8 \smc0\ [u c \smq{-1}\ cd os b1 ] \smh0\ c2u r4 \smq7\ g45u \smh6\ g2u r8 gu \smq5\ [u fs s e1 f s ] \smh4\ g2u r4 \smq4\ [u gd8 s fnc1 s ] / ================================= --Don *From:*TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-bounces+dsimons=roadrunner....@tug.org] *On Behalf Of *Dieter *Sent:* Wednesday, April 10, 2019 12:46 AM *To:* tex-music@tug.org <mailto:tex-music@tug.org> *Subject:* [Tex-music] PMX: switch to smaller notes type (German "Stichnoten") How could I do this in PMX?
