And I don't think that's worth the trouble. Anything and everything could be done, but I agree, it's not worth it to automate all the possibilities. > So I suggest to stick with the practical solution suggested by Don (even > though it means manual fidgeting. I'm not sure what manual figdeting is needed, whichever way Thorsten transposes the brass parts. If he wants to leave out the signature in some parts, he could just declare it the key of C using \setsign, and explicitly enter all accidentals. And it would be easy to teach PMX to insert these \setsign's, but of course it only covers some of the possibilities and MIDI would be ruled out. --Don Simons _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
