Hello,
I've just started expirimenting with Musixtex and thus far am very impressed.
I have taken on a challenging project to learn Musixtex, namely typsetting a score.
Everything is okay so far but I have come across on slight 'problem':
The score requires both instruments and voices, 4 of each. Thus I have include
\musixadd and \instrumentnumber{8}. However I need the bar lines to be continuous
across the 4 instrument parts, then break and then be continuous across the 4 voices.
All that seems to be possible however is to have the bar lines across all 8 parts or
(using \sepbarrules) seperate for each of the 8 parts. I have grouped the instruments
and voices using \grouptop and \groupbottom but this doesn't appear to make any
difference to the bar lines. Is there anyway of having bar lines continuous for
seperare groups of instruments in a score (this is quite common practice in scores I
believe)?
I also have a secondary problem as I would like one heavy brace joining the voices and
another joining both the instruments and voices. However the smller brace is
'overlaid' by the longerbrace and it is almost impossible to tell that there are two
braces - is there any way of ofsetting the bracess horizantoally so they are not
superimposed?
Thanks in anticipation of someone's help.
David Elsdon.
PS: I haven't got that far yet so attach my source tex file.
