Re: [Tex-music] Staccato and tenuto above the staff

I had already figured out that using \upz and \ust would remove the restriction. But as it now stands, PMX assumes that when these ornaments are used on single, up-beamed notes, by default they go below the notehead, so it uses \lpz, \lst. I was hoping to address this "feature" without

Re: [Tex-music] Staccato and tenuto above the staff

Hi all. Could someone explain what \upzst is intended to mean? Surely not staccato *and* tenuto, which is a contradiction. On a string instrument pizzicato-tenuto makes sense: pluck the string and then hold the note: i.e., pizzicato which is *not* staccato. But on other kinds of instrument? On a

Re: [Tex-music] little things

It's been interesting and a little frustrating looking into the 4 "features" Andre identified. Most of the frustration is from a combination of my fading memory and insufficient commenting in the PMX code, making it very difficult to reconstruct PMX's internal logic. But here's where I stand on

[Tex-music] Staccato and tenuto above the staff

Andre has provided an example that highlights the following "feature": If you try to put \lpz or \lst above the staff, you are restricted to every other vertical position. The same is not true of \upz or \ust. Here is a PMX file that generates the pasted example. ==
