Amazing! About the only one of these methods I thought of myself was extending the stemlength. And I was thinking the same thing, that "S" really should allow extending stems as well as shortening. In honor of Andre's brilliant exploitation of the existing PMX machinery, I'll look into doing that.

By the way, it is a pity one cannot use ie. 'b4S-9' in pmx.

However the meaning of "\chorsi{^OM}" is not obvious for me. I wonder whether I will understand enough, in order to make use of these techniques for my MusicXML-->PMX translator. Thanks and regards, Dieter
