Look at the attached files (one .pmx source, 2 .ps outputs): the
source in the piano part is actually identical except for the meter,
but in the "original" I get the rather arcane PMX error message:
" Timing problem w/ forced beams in bar 2" ,
and the result is seen in hindem38.ps.
Such things do occur, not only in modern polyrhythmic scores such
as the one at hand.
Am I missing something, or is this really a problem of PMX? If the
latter is true, would some kind of ID codes (as in MusixTeX, and in
PMX with slurs) be a solution that would be not too difficult to
implement?
