While preparing 'Regnsky paa Himlen', another of the Laub songs I referred to in my previous posting I've run into a problem with a string argument to the PMX dynamics command D"bla bla".
The string in question is "dolce sempre e col pedale" which is applied on a chord in the right hand piano staff. I appended it to the main note of the chord and got an M-Tx error message on note duration errors! I realize, however, that this must be due to a bug in the prepmx parsing: when I enter the string expression directly into the PMX file resulting from prepmx processing I don't get _that_ error any more. But the last character of the string is stripped! Did I encounter an (undocumented?) PMX limit on dynamics string lengths?
And then to hairpins. According to Don's original PMX documentation and to Cornelius Noack's new English version of Luigi Cataldis PMX tutorial hairpin dynamics can't extend a PMX input block. The above mentioned song contradicts that! Prepmx inevitably creates a new PMX block for each measure. But that doesn't prevent me from typesetting a crescendo hairpin in the vocal staff starting in bar 5 and continuing in bar 6. I enjoy that as an undocumented feature:-)
