This is the sort of thing where M-Tx just blindly follows PMX. The only automatic control you have in PMX is on full-bar rests, where centering is default and rpo turns it off. You can't do it with X since that is extra whitespace, not offset. You could put in a PMX feature request, say r2c etc would center any rest. r2c: would also toggle stickyness of centering. At present there are all sorts of ad-hoc offsets. A single general-purpose offset would also do the job, e.g. O0.5n2 could offset the next symbol by 0.5 of a half-note. As an immediate solution, you could redefine the TeX \hpause command to offset the rest by half the remaining distance. This should not be too hard to the real TeXperts since \pnotes causes the required registers to be set, but it's out of my league. That would center all r2 rests though. Or you could just live with the fact that current musical typography practice (not only PMX) does not center rests except whole-bar. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
