Sorry.  I had to redirect the message to gmail to read it

I have the same problem. I press RETURN every time the \inline= appears.

This may come multiple times in a row. But in the end the file compiles.

When I musixtex a file I obtain the message \inline= and I am unable to enter any character. X gives nothing. All I can do is to kill the command prompt window I was working with. Any other solution?

Oops - the "either" was from an earlier edit which I clearly forgot to delete!

I _think_ that you can make it happen if you've added extra music to a TeX file 
resulting in additional systems and attempt to do a first pass without deleting 
the .mx2 file first. As I say, I'm fairly sure I'd only seen it with OpusTeX 
(and so probably an older/diverged three-pass system).

Best,


David

CTRL-X is rarely the command exit anything - CTRL+C should terminate
TeX, unless something's really broken.


Yes. I typed this mail too fast!


I've more commonly seen this using OpusTeX - it's usually a sign that
either the .mx2 file is out-of-sync with the .mx1 file, as Bob noted.
Deleting the .mx1 *and* .mx2 file should clear it, otherwise there's a
bug.


I am unable to reproduce the bug with the file I was using yesterday.
Next time I will attach it with the .log and .mx? files.

Can't say at which of the 3 passes this was. :-(

Jean-Pierre, David: I've not been able to reproduce this
"feature". If you can give me a more detailed hint on how
to reproduce it, I can try to have musixtex.lua avoid the
problem or produce a suitable message. The script currently
removes any existing basename.mx2 file before a first pass
and removes both mx1 and mx2 files after processing (unless
intermediate files are to be retained).

unless something's really broken.

I've more commonly seen this using OpusTeX - it's usually a sign that either 
the .mx2 file is out-of-sync with the .mx1 file, as Bob noted. Deleting the 
.mx1 *and* .mx2 file should clear it, otherwise there's a bug.

If memory serves, from writing TeX-based version of musixflx many years ago, 
turning that case into an elegant error message is quite hard.

Jean-Pierre: In musixtex.tex, the section that defines
macros to set up the second pass has:

%   \inline expands to \lineset#1#2#3#4#5, so define the latter

followed by a definition of \lineset.  Is it possible
that you haven't used musixflx properly?

Jean-Pierre: What file is "a file"?

Does your musixtex work on the small examples available at

http://icking-music-archive.org/software/htdocs/Introduction.html#SECTION00011000

If so, then you'll have to find the problem with your file.
