And now, finally, thanks to Andre's detective work, the puzzle is almost
completely solved:
On 23 July 2007, Rainer Dunker wrote
"I've noticed that PMX sets the \interstaff parameter in the resulting
.tex file to a non-default value, and that curly.tex does not respect
this parameter change. Thus I suggest the following patch to curly.tex:
Replace
\advance\b@zii-\Interligne
\C@Inter
\advance\b@zii\stem@skip
by:
\C@Inter
\advance\b@zii\nblines\internote
\advance\b@zii\nblines\internote
\advance\b@zii-2\internote
With this change, the braces are set correctly in all my test examples,
even if the size or the number of lines of the topmost "braced" staff
are non-standard."
I'll go ahead and replace the direct-linked file in the archive with a
corrected one.
