Don,
thanks for your rapid solution. This would solve my problem. But for
some reason or other it does not work on my Computer (Windows7 ,64 bit).
I include the PMX file and error message.

Here’s an example of how to use inline TeX to do what you did in
musixper_test. You could enhance macros /startper and /endper to
include all the other kinds of notes; you could make alternate macros
for the other kinds of percussion symbols, and you could include them
all in a single tex file which you could input from within the PMX
source. The \global declarations aren’t necessary when you use these
as type 3 inline tex (at the start of a PMX input block, as in the
example), but they also allow you to use them as type 1 inline tex
(within an input block, for example for one note at a time)

Hi Don,
please find attached a simple example. The pmx generated Tex file is
"musixper_test_nodrum.tex" and the
modified Tex-file is "musixper_test.tex". The differences are the
input command for "musixper.tex" and a decoration of the concerned
notes with "dc" after the backslash. There exists a variety of
percussion fonts, please see in the musixtex documentation on page 96
(section 2.23.18) .
Regards,
Dieter

Hi, Dieter—
Please make a sample available, including both the PMX file and
the altered TeX file. I will consider this, but I cannot make any
promises.
I’m guessing there may be ways to do most if not everything you
need within the PMX file, using inline TeX. I realize that’s not
as slick as having PMX commands, but it is a lot better than
having to edit the TeX file. So that will be the first thing I
explore.

*Subject:* [Tex-music] Fwd: percussion notes with PMX and musixper
Hi,
finally (after an interruption of several years ) I managed to produce
percussion notes with PMX and musixper, following an advice by Philipp
Neukel.
This is great, but it requires to manually change the "final" PMX generated
TeX
-version.
And if this version is not 100 % final, then I have to do this more than
once.
Would it not be beautiful to have PMX-commands for bracketing a group
of percussion notes and to include this information in the PMX file?
Maybe with such a mechanism one could give other formatting hints to a
group of notes.
What do you think, Don?
Regards,
Dieter
