Re: [Tex-music] Ties and Volta

Hi Don,
sorry for leaving you in the dark. nobl.pmx, as you sent it, works perfectly including the tie to the 2nd volta. There is no difference to the
original file from Olivier.
When I look at it with a hex-editor, I see the following

And when I remove the last empty line, then I get:

and this causes the last bar to disappear. So my conclusion is: Always have an empty last line.
I am using either Microsoft text editor or notepad++.

Thanks and regards,
Dieter

Well, Dieter still hasn’t 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. I’ve 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 Dieter’s file is 06 (hex), and when I view it in WinVi32, there a funny double-headed arrow after the last “/”, same as I’ve 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 I’ve never run into this for files created in DOS or Windoze, only MACs or *nix.

 

At the moment, I don’t plan to make any changes in PMX to deal with this.

Dieter, for this issue that shouldn’t matter. When I process nobl.pmx with PMX 2521 I get the second volta. You still didn’t say what happens when you compile nobl.pmx.

Hi Don,

I am still using Version 2.521 of PMX. Maybe I should upgrade.

Regards, Dieter

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 didn’t 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?

Hi Dieter,

Don't forget to add an empty line at the end of the pmx file.

Olivier
