Jim-- In your test file it looks like you tried just about every conceivable combo except for the one that works:
g85.a b4 GWcs- ds4 oT0 GlsW2c d | As PMX now stands, I'm afraid there can only be one grace note per main note. Aside from laziness, my main reason for not adding true multiple graces per note is that I think in most if not all cases you could fake PMX out by assigning the 2nd grace to the preceding or following note. The key details to keep in mind are that a normal grace command G comes before the note (so is assigned to the next note), while an after-grace (GA) or way-after-grace (GW) command comes after the note (so is assigned to the previous note). There might be situations where even more trickery is needed, such as if you wanted both graces slurred to the same main note. For that, you might want to take advantage of the fact that a normal slur can start and end on the same note. So if in your example you wanted the single grace slurred to the d sharp, you could use something like g85.a b4 GWcs- ds4 sd-1-2 s-1+.2 oT0 GlsW2c d | --Don > -----Original Message----- > From: TeX-Music [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bailey, > Jim > Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2015 2:19 PM > To: Werner Icking Music Archive <[email protected]> > Subject: [Tex-music] Using PMX to Typeset Grace Notes Both Before and > After a Note > > Hello Everyone! > > This question is probably for Don. > > Earlier this year I was using PMX to typeset a piece of music which contained > grace notes both before and after a note.
