I've just uploaded a new PMX beta to 

http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmx2515.zip

It contains two bug fixes I'll tell you about, and a few others I won't bore
you with.

1. I corrected an error in automatic forced beams. Before the fix, if the
beam did not start an integral number of beam durations from the start of
the bar, incorrect results would occur. Note that neither the "rules" nor
the syntax have not changed. As stated in pmx250.pdf, "... if the option :
(colon) is included in the starting command [ for a forced beam, then
henceforth beams of the same duration will be forced in that voice, until
stopped. They will be stopped at either the next regular forced beam, or the
end of the input block for that voice, whichever comes first." An important
restriction that is not explicitly stated at that point in pmx250.pdf but is
explained elsewhere and does affect this option, is that no forced beam of
any sort can go across a barline. Thus if your automatic forced beam pattern
would cause a beam to cross a barline, and if you do not terminate it (with
a normal forced beam) in the same bar, you'll get an error. 

2. Fermatas over centered whole-bar rests are now properly centered over the
rest.

As usual, I'd appreciate folks trying to break these fixes and report back.

Happy holidays to everyone!
