Steffen, thanks very much for sharing this coding. I may very well be able to build your method into PMX. Rather than requiring a separate .tex file to be input, I would probably just have PMX insert the new definitions into the MusiXTeX source file it creates. Until I get around to making this modification, others could perhaps use your method with inline TeX.
I just now got Luigi's most recent post. The stem-direction issue has popped in and out of my mind during this discussion, and obviously is something I should think about. As PMX now stands, it takes care of this automagically for the single transposition it now admits; maybe I can extend the same logic somehow for multiple transpositions. Does anyone know how well or easily any of the commercial programs handle these matters? Specifically 1. Score entered and printed in concert key, parts printed transposed; 2. Score entered in concert key, score and parts printed transposed; 3. Score entered transposed, score and parts printed transposed; 4. Score entered transposed, score printed in concert key, parts printed transposed; and MIDI file OK in all cases. I think those are all the possibilities of interest, although (4) is pretty unlikely. I can't imagine anyone wanting to enter a part into the score transposed and then print that part in concert key. --Don Simons >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] >[mailto:[email protected]] >On Behalf Of Steffen Bretz >Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 1:47 PM >To: Werner Icking Music Archive >Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] Transposition with abcpp and pmx > >Dear Don, > >some time ago I wrote a little extension for MusiXTeX which allowed me >to write different parts of music transposed by different amounts.
