Greetings,

I know from Noack "Typsetting music with PMX -- version 2.6" that 
I am not supposed to put the code for a dynamic mark in front of a 
note.  Still, a segmentation fault seems like an overly severe punishment 
for a coding error.

I append the PMX souce and the console output (lightly massaged with 
respect to overprinting and unprintable characters) from my attempt to 
compile it.

Obviously, the solution for me is to just "stop doing that".  I am 
just trying to be helpful with this report.

Thanks,
Terry.
