Sometimes one needs a tie between 2 voices as you can see in the upper organ staff on bar 1-2. I thought to be smart and let the tie end on a hidden rest in the same voice (rb2 t). I got the error for ties and the message: send source to Don. But the output was ok and i did not sent the source. Until i listen to the midi: The organ part after the rests start on the second beat of the last-1 bar instead of on the 1st beat of the last bar.
I could repair this by using a phantom note (remove the rb2 and uncomment the in line TeX commands)
My question is : is there a pmx solution?
My preferred solution to the MIDI problem would be to use the abcpp preprocessor (see the 'abcpp' entry of the software archive).
I would copy the PMX source file, say my_source.pmx to an abcpp file, my_source.pmp. For input lines requiring specific MIDI handling I would branch between PMX input for printed score and input for midi, e.g.
#ifdef MIDI midi-pmx-stuff ... #else printed-score-pmx-stuff ... #endif
When editing is finished I would generate separate PMX source files for midi and for printed score resp.:
abcpp -MIDI my_source.pmp my_source_midi.pmx
abcpp my_source.pmp my_source_score.pmx
By calling abcpp with the command line option -MIDI I set and activate the abcpp macro MIDI. When the macro MIDI is set the abcpp preprocessor will select the line containing 'midi-pmx-stuff ...', or else the line 'printed-score-pmx-stuff ...' will be selected.
You'll find intensive use of abcpp preprocessing (incl. MIDI handling) in the M-Tx sources of my ongoing edition of 'Selva di Varia Ricreatione' by Orazio Vecchi
