I've long been aware that vertical spacing can get messed up when Ae is
combined with changes in numbers of instruments. It is interesting to learn
from Andre that the \newmovement macro will accept a negative argument; the
only stumbling block is that PMX won't let you enter a negative vertical
space. It certainly wouldn't take much effort to coerce PMX into accepting
negative movement-break vertical spaces, and I may do that in the next
release. But in the meantime, note that in this case it's not necessary.
Because of the nice behavior of the Ae command, using PMX alone you can get
rid of those extra-wide spaces above lines 2 and 4 by putting in even bigger
ones above lines 3 and 5 (see modified source below).
By the way I tried to play this, but I'm not very good in 2/5 meter :-)

This is my question: should it be usefull to allow negative space in a
newmovement (L4M-40ci.0n12t)?
Thanks for helping
