Hello All,
Thanks for all the help getting me going with MusiXTeX. I have spent the
past several days learning it and I'm very excited about the possiblities.
I am having one problem that has persisted through the weekend. I want to
make charts with chord indications for bassists. If I do one bar with the
following code, it looks passable, except for the fact that the "common"
meter indicator is slammed into the notes of the first chord:
\ifx\mxversion\undefined%
\input musixtex%
\input musixcpt%
\input musixsty%
\fi%
\startmuflex%
\fulltitle{You Don't Know What Love Is}%
\title{You Don't Know What Love Is}%
\subtitle{Chords for bass}%
\author{Raye/De Paul}%
\shortauthor{Raye/DePaul}%
\maketitle%
\parindent 18mm%
\setclef{1}{6}%
\generalsignature{-1}%
\generalmeter{\meterC}%
\setname1{Bass}%
\startpiece%
\notes\Bigtype\Uptext{Dm7}\znq{FHJMP}\lq{K}\nq{R}\znq{FHJMP}\lq{K}\nq{R}\znq
{FHJMP}\lq{K}\nq{R}\znq{FHJMP}\lq{K}\nq{R}\en\bar%
\endpiece%
\bye%
But if I add a second line of code duplicating the first bar, the layout
goes nuts:
\ifx\mxversion\undefined%
\input musixtex%
\input musixcpt%
\input musixsty%
\fi%
\startmuflex%
\fulltitle{You Don't Know What Love Is}%

\endpiece%

If anyone could give me some tips, I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
