M-Tx 0.50a has been uploaded to ftp.gmd.de. Until such time as it becomes visible to downloaders, you can also get it from ftp://calvyn.puk.ac.za/dirk/mtx/mtx050a.zip It is still based on PMX 1.3.8, despite my intention to wait for PMX 1.4. Two further bugs in 0.50 have been reported, and these are irksome enough to justify a bug-fixing release. The following bugs have been corrected: 1. The double-bar at the end of the piece got lost if you had the good habit of always coding bar lines. 2. If every line in the first music paragraph is labelled, that paragraph was regarded as an extra preamble paragraph, resulting in all sorts of weird diagnostic messages. 3. If you did not use the new Start feature, the start strings were not properly initialized. In the case of the MSDOS executable this produced random garbage in the generated PMX file. Executables made directly from the C code did not suffer from this bug. 4. The manual mistakenly mentioned \tinymusicsize as a possible music size. Dirk Laurie
