This is really a rather strange bug/feature.
Here are 3 comments:
1) I ran your example and found:
(i) pmx runs without error or other problem,
(ii) TeX (first pass) runs without error or other problem,
and WITHOUT spacing problems (this is standard),
(iii) musixflex runs without error or other problem,
(iv) TeX (2nd pass) runs without error, producing your
spacing problem, BUT
(v) dvips makes a .ps output that looks perfecly OK!!
That's strange enough as it stands, at least to me.
2) you do have a rather strange meter. I am not sure what, according
to standard musical notation, the rest r9d (standing for a total
of 6/2) should indeed look like. The rest I get can be seen in
the attached .ps file -- is that what worries you?
3) looking at the TeX file resulting from PMX, I see two blanks in
the last line (the code for the last 2 notes of the top voice}:
\wh D\wh E\en%
I guess they shouldnt be there, and they probably cause the
spacing problem; and if that's true, its indeed a problem caused
by PMX.
What we are to make of this whole thing I am at a loss to say.
Finally -- and this is to Bernhard personally (and has nothing to do
whatever with the problem at hand) -- how is our Dresden piano maker
doing now? Was our help of use and appreciated? I have had no feedback
whatsoever.
