I just sent Werner a beta version of upgrade 2.24. It has these new goodies: 1. MIDI-only (non-printing) accidentals 2. Dynamics: letter-groups and limited hairpins. 3. Extended rhythmic shortcut syntax: "." and "," now can be used even if the first member has a separate-symbol-modifier such as a slur or ornament. There will be a link "test" in the PMX section of http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/ . Don't forget to install the new pmx.tex . I'd like to hear people's comments about the dynamic mark default positioning. Process dyntest.pmx to see most of the possibile situations and combinations. There are lots of possible sets of rules and I picked/invented one with some feedback from the list. For the future I'm thinking about an option to set the reference height for all dynamics to a fixed level relative to the staff. --Don Simons
