Re: [Tex-music] Varying the vertical inter-system space globally

2018-04-29 Thread Dirk Laurie
Whenever a PMX/TeX issue crops up on the list, it seldom seems to be an M-Tx issue too :-) because M-Tx has its own mtx.tex file for inline TeX. There is nothing mystical and "M-Tx only" about mtx.tex. It's just a collection of macros useful when one is coding in PMX. Some of them I borrowed from

This is an example for 2 pieces on 1 page, using inline tex: - a macro \Song#1#2#3 is defined (hight of title, title, componist) - i only use Ae when de music does not fit on 1 page - i use AI.8 to get de systems more narrow - L4M+16 for define a space between the 2 pieces === ---

IF typesetting music with lyrics is your major concern, I recommend to use PMX together with the package "musixlyr" (by RainerDunker). Sample in the attachment. Regards, Dieter Am 29.04.2018 um 10:23 schrieb Dirk Laurie: 2018-04-28 21:34 GMT+02:00 "Matthias

Dear all!   When using the Ae option for making vertical inter-sytem space equal between all systems in PMX, is there a possibility to scale this vertical space still globally? I wanted to get two pieces of music on the same A4 page and therefore wanted to reduce the space, determined by Ae, a

@Dirk Laurie: Thanks for the additional information! I actually didn't know so far that in netsoos.pmx it's done like this, as producing it did work the first time for me yesterday evening. I ended up with the native PMX lyrics system. But it's very good to know that the more complicated inline
