And if chords were to be enabled within PMX grace notes, I wonder who would have to do the programming? :-)
Whoever it is, to really do it right he'd have to include most of the machinery available for normal chords. That would include shifting notes left or right if they're a 2nd away from another note, and arranging multiple accidentals so they don't crash into each other. It would be a formidable task...lots of effort for something that would hardly ever be used. It's fortunate that inline TeX as Andre suggested can be used as a Band-Aid. Just remember to always use numbers for newly introduced pitch levels so you don't upset PMX's octave tracking. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Dr. > Gerhard Eber > Sent: Friday, October 14, 2016 8:57 AM > To: Werner Icking Music Archive <tex-music@tug.org> > Subject: Re: [Tex-music] chords in grace notes with PMX > > Dieter <d.gloet...@web.de> writes: > Hallo André, > > thanks for the two solutions.
