OK, I see you're going for perfect alignment. Try this: \ibbbu0f0\tbbbu0\qb0i\tbu0\qb0i%
As whether to use PMX or not, you certainly are free to decide for yourself, and as I said, you would have to use some inline TeX to get percussion staves. But in general the argument that you gave is a little weak. It's a bit like saying "I'm comfortable with a hand shovel, so I don't want to learn to use a front end loader." But not exactly, because (1) learning PMX is about 1/4 as hard as learning MusiXTeX, and (2) your background in TeX will serve very well in constructing inline TeX commands to do the few out-of-the-ordinary things that PMX can't do, like set a single line staff for percussion. One of the main advantages of PMX is that it completely relieves you of deciding between \notes, \Notes, \NOtes, etc., and in multi-staff scores, lets you enter sequences of notes of different durations in the order they come in each part, instead of having to parse them into equal-duration groups and then jump all over the place vertically. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2006 10:27 AM > To: tex-music@icking-music-archive.org > Subject: [TeX-music] double upper beam pitch too high? > > > thanks Don and Gerd for helping me! > > i don't really want to use pmx. mostly because it took me quite a > while to get used to plain musixtex. > > here is an example which shows my tested beams next to normal notes: > (i also add the resulting pdf after plain pdftex. thought i'm not > sure whether it gets through the mailinglist) > > \input musixtex > \instrumentnumber1 > \nobarnumbers > \setlines11 > \startextract > \Notes% > \qu i\cu i\ccu i% > \ibu0i0\qb0i\tbu0\qb0i% > \ibbu0i0\qb0i\tbu0\qb0i% > \ibbu0h0\qb0i\tbu0\qb0i% > \ibbu0g0\qb0i\tbu0\qb0i% > \en > \endextract > \end > > hopefully this makes my problem more clear to you. > first beam (normle-ibu-beam) is quite close to the height of normal > notes, but all the double beams are either too tall (pitch i and h) > or too small (pitch g). > > i'm very curious about how to get the exact height using plain musixtex. > please explain this to me. > > greets > marek > > > _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
