Imho you mean %%\let\pauseSAV\pause which enables you to revoke the
redefinition of \pause if neccessary at a later point.
> %%\let\pause\PAuse
When I try to use PMX's code to generate what I want, I use instead:
%%\def\PAuseforpause{\gdef\pause{\PAuse\global\let\pause\pauseSAV}}
This allows to use "\PAuseforpause\ rp" to generate \PAuse without
loosing the ability to use "r0", to. So we now have:
Meter: 4/2
Style: Singer
Bars/Line: 4
%%\let\pauseSAV\pause
%%\def\PAuseforpause{\gdef\pause{\PAuse\global\let\pause\pauseSAV}}
rm2 g2 g g g | \PAuseforpause\ rp | g2 g r0 | r0 g2 g
But as Don told already, "r9" will do the same.
Concerning Christof Biebricher's statement that "rp" has to be coded
as \PAuse with 4/2 meter I like to ask, how "rm2" has to be coded
then. Normally it's coded as \PAuse, too. Is the "2" above sufficient
to avoid confusion?
Up to now I'm not convinced that "rp" has to be coded as \PAuse with
4/2 meter. Imho it's sufficient that \pause for rp is centered whilst
\pause for r0 may not be centered. Has anybody seen a real case?
If I as a typesetter would fear confusion I wouldn't code a full bar
rest with 4/2 meter, but use "r0 r0". Another possibility would be
to typeset \pause with a "1" over it - another reason to introduce
"rm1" into PMX as I proposed Don privately some time ago.
Concerning 3/2 or 6/4 meter I would use a centered \pause as fullbar
rest. Dotted rests are always hard to read especially if the dot is
applied to a half or whole rest.
