Dieter—
This is very strange! When initially working out the solution, I had
gotten EXACTLY the same error:
Runaway argument?
{\titles {2.0}{\\input musixper\}{2.0}{}{2.0}{}{0}}\en \endeq \pnotes
\ETC.
The problem was basically caused by your having used “Ti” and then
leaving the next line blank. When I first copied your original source
into WinVi, for some reason the blank line had disappeared, and the
next line after “Ti” was \\input musixper\
<file:///%5C%5Cinput%20musixper%5C> . I fixed it by restoring the
blank line after “Ti”, so that it contained a single blank space.
Maybe that won’t work for you, but why in the world did you put in
“Ti” with no instrument name? Why not just get rid of the “Ti”??

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
