Thank you Stanislav, hi all I have tried to show the effects in all methods with the small testfile in previous email:
1. pmx without musixps ---> tslrnops.ps 2. pmx with musixps ---> tslr.ps = with Ae (tslr.tex) 3. musixtex file with the pmx commands removed and 'input musixps' added ----> tslrt.tex - tslrt.ps only the 3th one can run without pmx Because the total file length = 100K i do not put them in the mail, but you can get them from http://users.pandora.be/avr/musixpsslur/ These are 3 different outputs, but in all case i found the endline slur a little bit high I can live with 2 of the 3 start slurs Andre ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanislav Kneifl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2002 3:46 PM Subject: Re: [TeX-music] Postscript slur poll > Hi Andre and all, > > as I ported the PS slurs from OpusTeX to MusiXTeX just for the > community, I do not use MusiXTeX, M-Tx or PMX myself.
