One item I forgot to mention, that came up when I used pmx2pdf "out of the box". The dvi image that PMX creates by default is not centered on any size paper. In the batch script I normally use at home, the call to dvips explicitly imposes the particular offsets needed to center the image on letter-size paper. Of course pmx2pdf did not do that, so the image initially came out off center. At the time, I fixed that with some inline TeX offset commands in the PMX source. For others who may have faced the issue of getting it properly centered, I'll mention that I just recalled a much simpler way: There's a PMX option that sets up the offsets automagically, "Acl" for letter-size, and "Ac4" for a4 paper. --Don Simons ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
