PMX support such switches, but not as you require it. With PMX you always have to start with the maximum number of staves. > I have no problem in coding the first two sections, but I am at a loss > about how to switch from one staff to two staves. If the last change is at a page break then you may use oneof the tricks which have been documented here already. Make two sources a.mtx, b.mtx which generate the requested output. Then concatenate the outputs using the programme dviconca[t] which should be avaiable on CTAN. Or generate the two tex-sources a.tex and b.tex and combine them into one: \input musixtex \input pmx \startmuflex\let\startmuflex\empty \let\endmuflexsav\endmuflex\let\endmuflex\endinput \input a \input b \endmuflexsav \end PMX-sources end with \endmuflex\bye. This tricks avoides the execution of \bye in a.tex and b.tex by executing \endinput instead of \endmuflex. If the change isn't at a page break, you may fool the PMX-output in similar way. Or combine both parts with a line-editor of your choice. -- Werner
