When I run the source (Windows XP) I do get the repeat at the end. So there
must be some OS or hardware differences. Here's the end of the pmx file that
I got:
==========================================
...
% Paragraph 5 line 26 bar 3
L2
\mtxZchar{10}{3.}\ f4 f4 e4 d4 f2 of c4d ba8 | /
% Paragraph 6 line 30 bar 4
\mtxZchar{10}{4.}\ a2 g2 f0 of Rr
/
% Coded by M-Tx
===========================================
I confirmed with a binary editor that all lines end with Hex 0D 0A as they
should in Windows text files. Assuming you don't want to buy a new computer
or OS to fix your problem, you might try just ending the piece with a single
bar, and getting the terminal repeat with inline TeX.
M-TX:
===========================
...
%%L2
U:3.
f f e d f2 of c4.b |
%%\\\let\ept\endpiece\def\endpiece{\setrightrepeat\ept}\
U:4.
a2 g f0 of |
============================
which produces PMX
============================
...
% Paragraph 5 line 26 bar 3
L2
\mtxZchar{10}{3.}\ f4 f4 e4 d4 f2 of c4d ba8 | /
% Paragraph 6 line 30 bar 4
\\\let\ept\endpiece\def\endpiece{\setrightrepeat\ept}\
\mtxZchar{10}{4.}\ a2 g2 f0 of | Rb
/
% Coded by M-Tx
=============================
I've confirmed that this gives the repeat, although I don't yet understand
why. The PMX syntax "...| Rb /" is pretty flakey and I'd have thought either
we'd get a PMX error or the "Rd" would be ignored. But neither is happening;
the "Rd" causes \endpiece rather than \Endpiece , and the inline TeX
redefinition of \endpiece does the trick.
This all kinda makes me wonder how M-Tx users get double bars at the ends of
pieces (since using "|" after the last line in the M-Tx evidently gave Rd in
the PMX and \endpiece in the TeX) , and that'll be my next investigation.
