Well, Dieter still hasnt told me what happens when he compiles nobl.pmx, but he did send me his file without the final blank line. When I compile it, not only is the final volta missing, but the entire last bar is missing. Ive seen this before when the PMX file ended with an incomplete input block; it just ignores the whole block. The trusty DOS debug function tells me that the closing character in Dieters file is 06 (hex), and when I view it in WinVi32, there a funny double-headed arrow after the last /, same as Ive seen many times at the ends of lines in *nix-created text files. On the other hand, nobl.pmx, created with WinVi32, ends with the expected 0D 0A (CR-LF). This is obviously a function of the text editor used to create the PMX file. However, until now Ive never run into this for files created in DOS or Windoze, only MACs or *nix.
At the moment, I dont plan to make any changes in PMX to deal with this. --Don From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Simons Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 7:52 AM To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Ties and Volta Dieter, for this issue that shouldnt matter. When I process nobl.pmx with PMX 2521 I get the second volta. You still didnt say what happens when you compile nobl.pmx. --Don From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DIETER glötzel Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 7:40 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Ties and Volta Hi Don, I am still using Version 2.521 of PMX. Maybe I should upgrade. Regards, Dieter Am 19.05.2011 16:15, schrieb Don Simons: Sorry, guys, I must be in a parallel universe, because my setup definitely does NOT require an empty line at the end of the PMX input file to make the second volta appear. When you end a piece with a volta open, as Olivier did in his original example, PMX is supposed to automagically supply a Vb, although I notice that I forgot to mention this in the manual :-( I have no idea why Dieter didnt get the second volta. Could it have to do with system-dependent line-ending and file-ending hidden characters? But I think Dieter is using Windoze as am I. Dieter, please try the attached file and report back. Anyone else care to comment? --Don From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DIETER glötzel Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 5:26 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Ties and Volta Hi Olivier, I am sorry for this beginner's mistake.
