Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] problem with bar spacing
hi don & dirk (& everyone else too),
thanks for the warm welcome and for the help, all of which was very
useful.
I, of course, join in the welcome!!

still, being a jazz bassist, I worry about controlling the number of
bars per system (we can only count to 4, you know). and in the simple
piece I'm using to teach myself PMX, it, too, would make a lot of sense
to have 4 bars per system since the music is structured that way.
Now I've expanded the piece to 32 bars, and as far as I see there are
only the parameters npages and nsystems given to control the layout.

As usual, Don gives the instructions on this (as on everything else)
clearly, succinctly, and unambiguously in the PMX manual, but sometimes
it might be hard to find for a newbie. That's one of the reasons
why Luigi Cataldi first wrote a PMX 'tutorial' (in Italian), and I
later follwed up with an English version of this 'tutorial' --
essentially a translation of Luigi's work, although pretty much
expanded and brought up to date (at this moment current to PMX 2.514;
but I'm working on updating to the newest 2.521).
So I hope - and guess - you might profit from browsing this tutorial:

You might want to read section B 5.8 on pp.65, in particular, following
Leslie Lamport's useful advice !
Hope this hilft
ccn.
