This is a really elegant solution, Rainer! To prevent nasty line-break
surprises if one specifies too narrow a width, one could include a
\linegoal=1 statement in the macro as I've done below:
8<====================================================================
\input musixtex
\startmuflex
\def\notesintext#1#2{% #1 = width of music insertion; #2 = music text
\vbox{\hsize#1
\setlines10\smallmusicsize \nobarnumbers \nostartrule
\staffbotmarg0pt \setclefsymbol1\empty
\startpiece#2\linegoal=1\zstoppiece}}
Adjust the width of this extract:
\notesintext{3cm}{%
\Notes\qu0\en\notes\Dqbu 00\en\bar\notes\Dqbu 00\Dqbu 00\en} until it
looks the way you want.
\endmuflex
\bye
8<===================================================================
Now, though, can anyone tell me why this macro begins to behave oddly
when used in combination with (or more specifically, after an instance
of) an adapted version that writes a clef? In the three examples
below, the third one leaves extra white space before the first note,
and the space is exactly as much as a clef would take up. How does one
go about fixing this so that one can use both versions in a
music-and-text document?
8<===================================================================
\input musixtex
\startmuflex
% macro to insert lineless, clefless sequence of notes
\def\notesintext#1#2{
\vbox{\hsize#1
\setlines10\smallmusicsize \nobarnumbers \nostartrule
\staffbotmarg0pt \setclefsymbol1\empty
\startpiece#2\linegoal=1\zstoppiece}}
% macro adapted to insert music with clef & lines:
\def\musicintext#1#2{
\vbox{\hsize#1
\smallmusicsize \nobarnumbers \nostartrule
\staffbotmarg0pt \setclefsymbol1\treblelowoct
\startpiece#2\linegoal=1\stoppiece}\hskip 5pt}
Here's an insert
\notesintext{3cm}{%
\Notes\qu0\en\notes\Dqbu 00\en\bar\notes\Dqbu 00\Dqbu 00\en}
without clef and lines.
Here's an insert
\musicintext{3cm}{\Notes\qu c\qu d\qu e\qu f\en}
with clef and lines.
And here's the first insert again
\notesintext{3cm}{%
\Notes\qu0\en\notes\Dqbu 00\en\bar\notes\Dqbu 00\Dqbu 00\en}
with the space before it messed up!
\endmuflex
\bye
