I do not see it in the TOC of his tutorial under the heading Tips and Tricks, but the section PMX and LaTeX talks--for a different purpose--about creating encapsulated postscript from the pmx and then including the result as a graphic in a LaTeX document. This is well beyond my current knowledge, but I imagine that getting the alignment right will be fiddly (which is okay) and subject to breakage whenever anything changes (which I think is much less okay). Which technique do you think would be easier to do in the first place, and which would be easier to maintain through changes? > > On the slurs and ties in chords, I certainly respect both Grieg's intentions > and Jean-Pierre's more realistic view.

I'll see if my library can find a copy. Meanwhile, I am finding some of Grieg's eccentricities of notation quite charming. At least until he took a pencil to it, the writing is very clear. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
