I hope someone else can comment on the issues with \mtxAssignLyrics.it's not something I know anything about.
In PMX, to replace the thick-thin bar at the end of a movement with a single thin bar, you would put "Rb" after the last note and before the "/" in voice #1 right before the movement break. However, if you do this in M-Tx (now in the last voice entered before the break), M-Tx will put in "|" between "Rd" and "/" and that confuses PMX (sorry). So in your manual editing you need to delete the "|". I just looked for and replaced all "| /" with "/". To control vertical spacing, in addition to Ai and AI which scale \interstaff, there are a few other things you can do in PMX, separately or in combination, usually with lots of trial and error. Ae will "equalize" spacing and prevent any systems from spilling over to an extra page. I use it all the time. But with Ae, on a page with a movement break and change in staves/system, you will probably need further intervention. You can use the option in the movement break command that adds extra space before the new movement, e.g., L2M+5 . With Ae active, in other places, you can use e.g. \spread3\ to insert 3\internote of extra vertical space at the next system break. If you use Tt to insert a title, and if it's the last element of the title block, then you can append e.g. "+4" to increase the default space between the title and first system by 4\internote . Another command affecting vertical spacing is the v option of the A command. PMX normally spreads staves vertically over a full page, unless the white space becomes excessive, in which case it groups all staves near the top of the page. Entering Av will suppress this grouping near the top, and ensure that systems will always be spread vertically over the full page height regardless of how much white space is left at the bottom. It is a toggle; the second time it is issued, the behavior reverts to the default. --Don From: icking-music-archive.org-tex-music-boun...@mailman.nfit.au.dk [mailto:icking-music-archive.org-tex-music-boun...@mailman.nfit.au.dk] On Behalf Of Hermann Hinsch Sent: Saturday, June 12, 2010 9:59 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] M-Tx, number of staves Am Samstag, 12.

Of course later on I will use C for a specified program or try sed, as David pointed out. The main purpose for sending the pmx output was if one could understand beside the elimination of the "rp /" the change of the instrument number in row 36 and 225 and deleting rows 227 and 228. Would it be possible to change the thick-thin-bar at the end of a movement into a normal bar?
