THAT'S ME! (and some of you know that this has been in the making
for some time). So, in the light of the recent thread on this
subject, here is an (inofficial) public announcement:
Yet another `new' manual for PMX (in English) will be
available shortly (I hope around Sep 15). Its starting point
was Luigis manual in Italian, and in a sense it is indeed a
retranslation, and the majority of Luigis examples are
included (but also many new ones). The philosophy of it
(identical to Luigis) is somewhere between a user's manual and
a reference guide, somewhere along the lines of the LaTeX
manual by Leslie Lamport, so both a PMX beginner and the
occasional user who has forgotten all the details can find her
way with it. As Don has pointed out, it will be up to date
(PMX version 2.4.11 as of today), and that means it also
describes all the recent changes (advances) regarding slurs.
An important difference to both Dons original and Luigis
manual: it finally has an INDEX.
Don has proof-read the manual thorougly and has approved it,
so I hope it may be useful to many people --- but that's for
you to judge.
IMPORTANT: Anybody interested in looking at this manual ahead
of time (and giving her heart out in criticism) should ask
me, and I'll be happy to send a personal, pre-publication
copy (i.e. the draft version as of today) under the strict
condition that it not be redistributed at this time.
