Thanks to suggestions from Dirk and a few others, I'm now able to get
close to the output I want (including the "footnote" lines at the
bottom). But the thin-thick bar line ( |] ) I coded at the end of bar 9
(line 42 of the input) appears as a normal bar -- and so does the end
of the piece which would normally have a thin-thick bar added
automatically.
Also my voltas aren't coming out the way I want them. I want the
first volta to end slightly *before* the bar line (so it doesn't run
into the second volta), and the second volta is supposed to be open (I
coded Vx in bar 11).
Finally, the piece as submitted by the author has two optional notes
in bar 5 (which I replaced with a half-rest and an eight-rest). He
handwrote them as notes in parentheses, but I have no idea how to get
that effect in M-Tx or PMX. I do see that I could do it in raw
MusiXTeX using the \lpar and \rpar macros.
Suggestions?
