They are much more flexible than font-based ones. For example, as Hiroaki mentioned, your example was using the shortest available tie character. With font-based ties, it is impossible to make one any shorter (without something really exotic like changing the font size just for the tie). Also, the shapes are limited. See the examples on p.41 compared to p.43 of http://www.icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/musixdoc.pdf Finally, there's a practical consideration, which COULD be changed by more programming but won't be: Using PMX, font-based ties are really slurs with altered default starting and ending positions, while postscript ties have subtly but fundamentally different shapes than slurs. --Don Simons _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://mailman.nfit.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music
