Andre, this couldn't be more elegant! The inline TeX doesn't require any dimensioning. If I ever finish my current PMX improvement project (blank gaps) I may consider trying to build this method into PMX. But I do wonder exactly what you mean when you say that a dummy page cannot be used when

Re: [Tex-music] PMX: problem with shifted dot

Hi, Rodolfo-- Welcome to the club! Your issue with the dot reveals two problems, one with the details in the manual, and the other one a bug. In the instructions for moving dots, I should have included a suggestion to put the dot last in the note command to avoid any confusion. Your command was

Re: [Tex-music] PMX: `sforzando' on grace note?

There's no provision for ornaments on grace notes in PMX. You could put one on the next note and move it as needed: G1m1b1 d03s o>-18-2.4 za3 zc4 zb2 / but this comes out in the main font. If you want one in a smaller font you could get it with the D command, again assigning it to a main note

Re: [Tex-music] PMX: full-bar rest not centered

Rodolfo-- I think you've exposed a real bug. It seems that whole-bar rests in the first bar are not centered as intended. I'll need to look into this some more and report back later. I'm very surprised it hasn't come up before. As for r0, RTFM. The manual's section on rests starts out "The

Re: [Tex-music] Problem with pmx file

RTFM. The first of the four numbers is the numerator of the true meter, and it cannot be zero. You would have zero quarter notes per bar. And BTW the 3rd and 4th numbers being 0 and 4 means the printed meter would be a single digit 4, which I don't think I've ever seen used. --Don >

Re: [Tex-music] alignment of \flageolett in \Largenotesize

This is educational...over the years I've noticed some horizontal alignment issues related to whole notes, but never realized there was a built in macro to fix them. So naturally PMX doesn't make the whole note correction. I suppose I could make PMX automatically use \wholeshift when appropriate.

Re: [Tex-music] Problem with pmx file

I can't reproduce that error, and beyond that I'm very confused by it, because it refers to line 25, which appears to properly list the two clefs. It's doubly confusing because in the error message PMX should print out the line up to the point of the error. When I run PMX 2.84, I do get another
