The only error is in PMX's coding. I also found that removing this line lets the code compile. But then some other problems show up in the printout. I'm on the trail of these bugs.

When I reverse the input order of chord notes in the first, the result looks Ok to me: e85 zc4 d84 f+ ze- f84 PMX relies on the user to choose the order of notes in chords in such a way that the results comes out OK when PMX does its thing. I have always been able to find an ordering of chord notes so that PMX's automatic beam is OK, if maybe not the absolute most beautiful. Can anyone give an example where its impossible to avoid a "beam crossing" when the beaming is left to PMX? I'm not sure how NoteEdit should deal with this since I've never used it. Doesn't either NoteEdit or its user select a beam direction in NoteEdit? If so, NoteEdit could always force that direction in the PMX export. Or maybe NoteEdit could somehow take account of PMX's beam position algorithm in selecting the order of chord note export. --Don Simons _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
