I’ve whiled a few hours but have more to go. Andre’s problem is a special case of a more general one that occurs when an xtuplet has only one note that is not a rest. I do have an idea about an approach to fixing it. But I also wonder whether there has ever been any other example in all of Western music, besides Andre’s, of an xtuplet with just one note and all the other members rests.
The deeper I dig into my ancient coding the more complicated it gets. When constructing xtuplets and positioning the number, there is a huge number of features that must be accounted for. Because of that, I’m nervous about the possibility of breaking something that already works. As a test, I’ve checked many (all?) possible 4-tuplets with two rests. With my working version of the code my test file runs fine and positions the number acceptably in all cases. I must have already fixed something, because the 4-tuplet test file did not run with the most recent version pmx282. For triplets with two rests, stay tuned. --Don From: Don Simons [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 08, 2017 8:40 AM To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Tex-music] New PMX beta Thanks Andre for the bug report. Since I can’t play ping pong over the weekend due to a strained muscle, this will give me something to while away the hours :).

It had been sitting around waiting for an excuse to go public, and that excuse came out of the blue when Christian specifically asked about that very feature. --Don _____ ------------------------------- [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
