WOW!!  A dream came TRUE and I missed it... I was so hasty when I installed
PMX200 that I didn't stop and read the Manual...

Here is a brief on the changes I missed by not reading the manual...

Pmx 1.34 and before  (?)                        PMX 2.0
 7 Voices (Staves)                            12 Voices (Staves)
 7 lines of music                               12 lines of music
14 key changes                                18 key changes


In my question I was laboring under the idea that I was limited to 6 (yes,
6) voices in all!

Time for me to catch up again :-))    THANKS DON!!  This really opens up to
a realization that I can use M-Tex (with good PMX background in there), for
a variety of Choral Scores (SATB + Piano, Plus accompanying instruments.
Let's see, 4 voices for the Piano, 4 for the SATB, and 4 left over for the
Brass Quartet (or whatever else?)

Similarly, I recognize that successfully using M-Tex requires a thorough
working knowledge of PMX, and a bit more MusixTex thrown in for "good
measures" :-))

Anyway, this posting is really a reminder for the Newbies:  Read the Manuals
every time there is an update, and then read them again...  I seem to be
always a newbie and never able to come to a knowledge of the "Knuth" - (from
the Gospel according to Tex).

I have forgotten more than I ever knew :-))
