Fair enough. But honestly I can't say I'm overworked. The problem is more along
the lines that I've forgotten so much about how I put PMX together starting
over 18 years ago, and never did document it as well as I should have. But it's
been a wild and satisfying ride, and I hope to continue making improvements as
warranted.
As to Andre's incredible insight, through recent private exchanges, it has
directly led me to pure PMX approaches to many (most?) aspects of
staff-crossing chords, beamed or single-stemmed. Except for stem lengthening
which I just finished programming, this relies entirely on existing features,
mainly joined beams ("j" option). I never would have discovered the necessary
extended uses without Andre's guidance. I hope to have this all documented and
available soon.
