I haven't absolutely decided what to do about this. First of all, the type 4
TeX has nothing to do with the problem. If you remove the type 4 section,
the problem is still there. The problem is caused by including a line in the
setup section that begins with %%, and then following it with something (a
comment line) that I did not anticipate. When I coded the part of scor2prt
that reads in the setup data, I assumed the ONLY use of %% in the setup
section would be if the following line were going to be a score-only chunk
of setup data, to be followed by a sequence of part-only setup data (e.g.
%1...). I realize there's no syntax error here; the syntatically correct
interpretation would be that the line following %% is a score-only comment.
But I'm afraid to start hacking away at the coding, because it's pretty
complicated and some subtlties are lost from my memory bank. If I messed
with it, I could very easily break something else that would affect many
more users than the tiny number who choose to use %% in the setup section
and then follow it with something other than score-only setup data (Luigi is
the first and only one I'm aware of). So I'm inclined to leave scor2prt
alone for now, and include a comment in the next release of the manual
cautioning against this. I might also decide to screen for it in PMX or
scor2prt and issue a warning if it is found.
