I'm sorry to have bothered you with a problem, that is purely due to a
mistake of my own.
First of all, I'm using Mtx, not Pmx directly as I wrote in my last email.
Thats why I don't set the octave at the beginning of the bar.
I had misunderstood the documentation for xtuplets on page 7 in the PMX
manual, and got the (mis)impression that the first digit following the
first note of the xtuplet is the time value for the note, and that the
second digit is the time value for the whole xtuplet.
When I read the paragraph on xtuplets again this morning after receiving
your email, it seemed very clear, and I don't understand how I could have
understood it as I did earlier. When I removed the octave indicators from
my code the result was just what I wanted.
I'm sorry to have bothered you all. Thank you for your help and patience.
