I'm using OpusTeX 0.84 and I have some things I would like to do that I
have not yet figured out.

1) I would like to display a time signature at the end of a line as well as
at the beginning of the next system.

2) I would like to have "invisible" note heads *with* visible stems.  This
should allow me to have stems attached to beams while giving me control of
the stem length by specifying the pitch of the invisible notehead.  I would
also like to have headless \qu and \qd and be able to put visible \pt with
them.  In short, I would like to have regular notes but without heads.

3) I would like to suppress a barline at a time signature change.  The
manuscript has, for example; 2/4 {some notes} +3/8 {some more notes} | 1/4
etc....The "+3/8" indicates in the middle of a bar that there is an
additional 3/8 worth of time in the bar rather than a new bar of 3/8.  Yes,
there is a large + immediatly to the left of the time signature instead of
a barline.

4) I would like to place a letter X in the top of a time signature.  Using
\generalmeter{\meterfrac{X}{4}} does not work, of course.

5) Probably off topic but maybe someone here knows--I would like to rotate
a bit of text.  I don't know the angle but it is no more than about 45
degrees.  This is probably a PostScript issue and I'll be looking elsewhere
as well for an answer to this.

I know some of this stuff is a bit odd but the manuscript has it this way
and I am trying to be as faithful as possible to it.

Thanks,

David Bobroff
