Hi, everybody
When our conductor asked whether someone could transpose the bass line
of that one piece we're going to perform in three week's time, I
thought, wasn't there something about automatic transposition in
M-Tx?, and agreed to do it. Stupid me. It turned out to be only 2 or
3 hours of work, which I finished successfully, but I've hit a few
glitches that I wanted to ask your opinion about... I'm including my
.mtx so you can see what I did.
1. How do I get a \caesura right at the end of a bar? Kludging around
with `\atnextbar' works, but isn't beautiful. (As in
a9- | \atnextbar{\caesura}\ d0.d ...)
2. In a 4/2 measure, a whole bar rest should be using \PAuse, or
shouldn't it? How could I have substituted this? Is this a PMX bug?
(I resorted to ... | \PAuse\ rpb | ...)
2b. ...and how could I have centered it? (\centerPAuse didn't turn
out to work.)
3. The editorial accidental `oen' doesn't get changed to a flat when
transposing, even with relative accidentals in effect. This isn't
hard to substitue by hand, it would just be great if it were done
automatically.
For the record, I'm using M-Tx 0.50a, pmx 1.3.6, and MusiXTeX T.88, on
a Linux (Debian 2.1) system.
Thanks,
Alex
