Many thanks to all the kind souls who answered my request about using
M-TX to produce pieces with no bars. I think I can summarise as follows:
(1) for simple hymns with no bars, follow what is said in the m-tx
manual. You must calculate the duration of each line, that's why I say
that this system is good for simple pieces.
(2) for complicated music (in my case, one of the versions of the
hispanic "Sibyl chant") I did as follows:
-- used a lot of hidden meter changes in m-tx and PMX (e.g. m4400);
-- edited directly the TeX file, commenting all the "xbar" statements
and the "tempo" at the beginning of the composition;
-- compiled the TeX file as usual.
Final result: excellent!
Many thanks again,
gm
