Hello PMX-experts,
I have typeset a song that takes 8 pages. This is too much to place it at
the music stand at once. But it doesn't make fun to turn over pages while
playing harp.
I need to compress the layout. The song has three voice. An excerpt could
give good results. But I need to look at the other voices for orientation,
at least at one voice. Is it possible to make an excerpt, where the "other
voices" are smaller?
Do you have other ideas to reduce the number of pages?
For reducing the size of selected staves you may apply something like
\\setsize{2}\smallvalue
in the pmx preamble, where {2} designates staff 2
A way of reducing the number of staves for a harp performance part could
be to use a preprocessor to generate various flavours of scores and
separate parts from a single master preprocessor source file. That is
what I'm doing with my ongoing (lon term!) modern edition of Orazio
Vecchi's "Selva di Varia Ricreatione" based on the abc preprocessing
software 'abcpp' for generating dedicated M-Tx source files. See
http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Vecchi.html and an
introduction to abcpp preprocessing in the "Tips and Tricks" section,
