This is the first time anyone has ever pointed out this feature. I’m sorry for
the inconvenience, but I’m glad you’ve worked out a way around it.
I’m afraid It would be an absolute nightmare to try to fix it (by maintaining
separate supplies of slur and tie labels). It would even be rather tricky to
put in a check for whether you’ve opened a new slur/tie with a given index
before closing the last one. When I first built slurs and ties into PMX, I used
only the s and t commands, not (, ), {, and }. Some people asked for the latter
and I acquiesced, despite the complications introduced by now having to allow
the starting command to come BEFORE the note. I did manage to work that out,
but I’m not too motivated to carry this index issue forward.
I’ll assume that the excerpt you’ve printed out has been compromised somehow in
another way…those G sharps in the first two bars don’t make any sense at all :).

Subject: [Tex-music] Identifier for ties and slurs in PMX
I was not aware, that the same supply of 1-digit and 1-letter characters is
being used for ties and slurs (see attachment).
I discovered this while testing XML2PMX.
The following PMX code
=========================================
% nv, -noinst, nostaves per instrument
4 -4 1 1 1 1
% mtrnuml,mtrdenl,mtrnmp,mtrdnp,xmtrnum0,isig

g44su g44u g44u g44u | g44su a44u b44l c45l | d44u e44u f44u g44nu | /
====================================================================
When I replace the slur marker "(1 ... )1" in line 3 of the code with "(2 ...
)2", I get the following.
>From the point of view of automatic generation I find this kind of
>inconvenient.
But I know what I have to do to make XML2PMX handle this situation.
