Use blind meter change:
LxM
m1/4/3/4 f44 /
m3400 ...
That may confuse bar numbering. So you may use in addition:
\\\advance\barno -1\ m1/4/3/4 f44 /

Ask Don :-)
PMX has already some features like figures to put some symbols at the same height
below a staff, or ornaments which are above or under the staff as needed, so
it shouldn't be to difficult to add e.g. "Df" for "f" below a note :-)
Up to now I use something like a lot of definition:
\\def\mit{\medtype\it}\
\\def\mbf{\medtype\bf}\
\\def\Forte#1{\text{-#1}{\f}}\
\\def\Ff#1{\text{-#1}{\ff}}\
\\def\cre#1{\text{-#1}{\mit cresc.}}\
\\def\Conmoltosentimento{\Text{#1}{\mbf con molto sentimento}}\
\def\cresc#1#2{\text{-#1}{\crescendo{#2\elemskip}}\
where \text or \Text is something like \zcharnote more or less below or
above the staff. Then one may write " \Forte3\ c44 ...\cre2\ d ... \Ff3\ e ... "
If possible it's better to do anything in the PMX-stage. Then you may
re-compile in case of small errors without re-doing the post-edit.
> I have looked long in the manual but not come up with answers.
Look at the many PMX-sources available at http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/scores/
In the source of the Urtext edition of Bach's Kunst der Fuge you find how
the above is put into a seperate TeX-file (kfsqpmx.tex) and how e.g. \text
and \Text are defined (mymusix.tex). I append a similar collection used in
other editions; you need mymusix.tex in addition which is in kfur.zip.
Warning: reading this my not be good for your TeX-health :-)
Hope this hilft -- Werner
