Dear mutex subscribers.
For some time I have been preparing a M-Tx/pmx based modern edition of a
series of baroque sonatas for flauto traverso and basso continuo. My
co-editor and I have spent some time on looking at typesetting styles of
similar publications from quite a lot of publishers and have ended up
with an 'ideal' typesetting style: the solo part should be set in small
music size, the basso bart in normal size and the basso continuo
arrangement on a normal size staff, but with small note head sizes. The
style of the solo part is straightforward to achieve using
'\setsize2\smallvalue'. The difficult part is to get the style of the
right hand harpsichord part. Opposite to my typesetting of the
triosonata by Roman (published on the GMD archive) I want to have bar
lines drawn across the right hand harpsichord and the basso part which
means that these two parts should be one MusiXTeX instrument. One
*could* require \smallnotesize in the right hand staff but it will be a
hell of a task because it has to be done so frequently.
My MusiXTeX knowledge doesn't suffice to figure out how to do what I
want in a more generalized way and I hope that some of you could
possibly supply some helping hints.
Regards
