Hi alla) Using MTX I need a meter called in PMX 4/0/0/4. The first problem is that MTX refuses the first zero although this would make sense, regarding PMX's language. Well, this is not a real problem, since m8/2/0/4 fixes this. But the second problem is that the third and fourth numbers do not go through MTX. In the resulting PMX file I find in the preamble "8 2 8 2" instead of the expected "8 2 0 4". Is this intended?
if you apply PMX syntax for the preamble parameter Meter: Meter: m8/2/0/4 then prepmx will generate correct PMX meter values: 8 2 0 4
I have performed a test of how prepmx and pmxab handle the PMX full bar rest word 'rp' and found that it works OK until a meter of value 3/1 (notated with PMX syntax m6/2). In case of meter 4/1 (m8/2) prepmx happily handles 'rp' further to PMX. But then pmxab fails to behave reasonable. The musixtex result is:b) Apparently, MTX cannot handle the nice "rp" full bar rest provided by PMX. This seems to mess up MTX's meter/length counting. In the above mentioned meter I would like to use a \PAUSe. Well, "\PAUSe\ rb9 rb9" or "rb9 \PAUSe\ rb9" are workarounds but both do not produce very nice output since a full bar rest should appear centered within the bar. A construct with \centerPAUSe\ on the other hand is also not a real solution as the pice has 12 voices and many such rests. So I don't see a direct TeX macro solution.
