Carlo-- I have published one vocal piece, and I used M-Tx for it. I spent a great deal of time resolving issues exactly like the ones you mention. And it got even worse when I went to make parts. I think changing the number of voices in the score is doable, but I ended up finding no good overall solution for partmaking, and among other tricks I wrote a FORTRAN program to do some intermediate parsing of the PMX file generated by M-Tx.
I don't remember the details, and it will take me some time to get them straight enough in my head to pass them along. I'll keep watch to see if anyone else has quicker answers, and if not, I'll have something in a few days. Meanwhile, I'd suggest trial-and-error, starting with an idea of exactly what you want the PMX file to look like. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:tex-music- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carlo Centemeri > Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 9:17 AM > To: Werner Icking Music Archive > Subject: [TeX-Music] changes in number of voices > > Dear all > I have also another question: I know that both in pmx ans mtx I can > switch from a higher number of voices to a lower one.
