Don--,
it's great, when you find some time for improvements. From the point of
view of the testsuite, I would be most interested in dealing with the
quarter grace notes in the 3rd bar. Concerning stem length of sixteenth
notes and slurs I find Liliyponds dimensions nicer.

Dieter—
Speaking of more relevant problems, I noticed one in this example: It
seems that PMX cannot do the after-grace on the last note of bar 2.
But that could be even more tricky to fix.
I also thought it would be interesting to directly compare the layout
PMX produces vs the one from Lilypond.
Lilypond, then PMX at 16 pt:
Several things I notice:
1. On the double-beamed graces, PMX’s stem could be shorter. I’ve
noticed all along that the MusiXTeX default stem length on
multiply beamed notes is longer than I would prefer. I think it
just builds outward from the single-beam height. For non-grace
notes you can change the beam height case-by-case, but I doubt
it’s currently possible with graces in PMX.
2. PMX has a noticeably wider blank space at the end of each bar.
3. PMX’s grace note bodies are all a bit closer to the main note than
Lilypond’s. But on single graces, Lilypond’s flag drops lower than
MusixTeX’s.
4. PMX’s slurs end before crossing the main stem; Lilypond’s cross it.
I’m open to comments and possible code revisions on any of this.

Hi Don--
Of course you are perfectly right, not spending days on this problem,
just in order to satisfy the testsuite.
I might encounter other problems in the testsuite, which are more
relevant.

In light of my recent problems posting to ICK, I’m curious to see
if this goes through.
The only PMX problem here occurs with a 2-note, unbeamed grace.
It’s true that PMX chokes on this, and its also true that with
some effort I could modify the code to make it work. But really??
Is there any composer in the history of the world who has ever
called for multiple unbeamed grace notes on a single note??

I am checking XML2PMX with the the inofficial testsuite for
MusicXML of Lilypond.
This is one of the tasks.
XML2PMX does not yet solve the problem. And when I try to model it
directly in PMX:
