I suppose I could look into that.
Don, creating yet more work for an already overworked man is the
last thing I wish to do. I was hoping that people who regularly use
PMX could help me with a feature newer than say 15 years old, since
that is more or less the snapshot of PMX that got frozen into M-Tx.
André's recent exhibition of virtuosity opened my eyes to the
existence of PMX users that operate on a noticably higher plane than
I do.
As for this piece, I have decided that the original composer should
have doubled all note lengths and made four-bar phrases. It looks
ever so much better that way, allowing more flexible line breaks
too.
Fortunately the operation involved little more in the M-Tx source
than telling the editor to replace all 4's by 2's, all 8's by 4's
and all 1's by 8's, in that order!
I'm using another text input engraver, MUP having this beaming
approach: Rather than presuming a 'standard' beaming for a meter MUP
lets all notes be default unbeamed. The user may declare beaming
patterns on score, staff and voice levels. A staff level beaming
overrules the score level beaming for the staff in question, and a voice
level beaming overrules the staff level beaming. You are free to change
beaming patterns where you want. A meter change cancels all declared
beaming patterns.
Maybe PMX and M-Tx could have a similar, additional beaming feature?
