Dear all,
I downloaded pmx200, unzipped it, renamed pmxa to pmxab,
removed pmxb from my bat-file and had running the new version
in 15 seconds (i am exaggerating a little)
I thank mr Don Simons (and the other authors and
problemsolvers on the net) for the pleasure that they gives me
and i am sure, the other people who typeset music with musixtex.
And now i have 2 questions:
1
How can i move an arpeggio to the left in pmx
(ie for making room for a natural)?
example:
g4 ? zf+ zbs<1 ? /
(i like to interchange the arpeggio and the sharp)
2.
In putting crescendo and pedal figures beneath or between the
staffs, i have troubles to specify the position or the crescendolength.
(i do it with the musixtex commands)
example:
in
\zmidstaff{\crescendo{#1\noteskip}
i can not predict the amount of \noteskip,
because i think other staffs have an effect on it.
or in
\zchar{-#1}{\Ped}
i can not predict the vertical position.
If i reset the position by " ! " , then the
pmx vertical position of the next notes are changed.
Those problems i have solved practically by
using a "next voice" ( / . . . // ) with
only phantom rests and musixtexcommands, as in:
\zmidstaff{\decrescendo{2\noteskip}\zchar{-8}{\Ped}\
rb4 rb8 \zchar{-8}{\Dep}\ rb8 rb4 //
This seems to work out (up to now)
but in SATB music the nextvoices are used up and i have to find something
else.
So my question is: are there rules for putting figures between the notes?
Thanks in advance,
Andre Van Ryckeghem
