I'm home now, and I find that my macros for putting slashes across stems are
already in pmx.tex. \ls{n} and \us{n} place the slash across a lower or
upper stem, 5\Internote below or above the position n (counting the bottom
line as 0). So for a normal stem length of 7\Internote, setting n equal to
the notehead position will put the slash 2\internote from the end of the
stem, which looks about right to me. For other situations some tweaking may
be required. Here's an example:
=========================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
1 1 20 0
t
./
w3i
\us{-2}\ c44 \us0\ e8 \us2\ g \ls4\ b \ls6\ d \ls8\ c4 /
=========================
Technical details:
1. The macros are non-spacing, so they must be issued before the note
command.
2. The macros use \ibu0 so you shouldn't use them if you have opened beam 0.
PMX won't use beam 0 for any other purpose, so this is not a problem if you
use PMX.
3. If you want to extract the macros from pmx.tex and use them in a manually
built tex file, you must also extract the definition of \usoff and you must
declare \newcount\reflect
