In the coming days I'll be looking into incorporating the postscript slurs into PMX. I haven't decided whether to make them an option, or to replace the old slur macros and bitmapped slurs completely. If they're an option, I would do it with an "A" command up front (maybe "AP") and then not require any other changes from the user except possibly if he had used some of the more exotic midheight and curvature adjustments. If it's a complete replacement, then the user would not have to change anything in old files. I'd like to hear some comments to help me decide. Either way, I'd do my best to make old PMX files compatible. But it would be nice to settle this matter before I start programming.
Assuming we don't find any show-stopping problems with the slurs themselves, one big issue is how they work in dviwin and other dvi viewers. In my initial tests they did not show up at all in dviwin. However I recall seeing something about "specials" in dviwin. Does that mean there is some way to tweak dviwin to display them? I suspect not, in which case one will need to use a real postscript viewer to see the results. For me this would pose no problem at all...I have fast processors, dvips takes just seconds at most, and gsview works fine. --Don Simons _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
