It's true that PMX doesn't have beamed open-headed notes. It's also true that in my published edition of Storace, http://www.pchpublish.com/gif/bspasap6.gif, there are long passages using beamed, open-headed notes. To get that I devised an elaborate inline TeX solution (which might have been less elaborate had I realized that \hb existed).
In this case it could be argued that for reasons of clarity, the notation might be replaced by printing side-by-side noteheads, and that is easily achievable in PMX: a23r // a83 a+ c a / --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 3:48 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [TeX-music] "beamed" half-note > > > Hallo. > > If you are typesetting guitar-music with two voices you often need > in the lower voice a half note and the upper voice has for example > a figure consisting of eighth notes.
