crossing beams 
Using Andre’s PMX file (see below), the latest full public distro of PMX, 
Version 2.84, gives this: I’ve been working on this on and off for a month now, 
and I’m ready to throw in the towel. I’ve managed to modify the PMX code to 
solve the first problem (bar 2), but not the second (bar 3). More broadly, the 
legacy coding is already so complex that I just cannot find a clear path 
forward to deal with all the possible variations: upness or downness of the 
first or second member of the jump beam, increase or decrease in the 
multiplicity, and whether the change in multiplicity comes before, at, or after 
the staff jump. Here is what my development version gives: With the new PMX 
version, the following inline coding fixes the problem in the 3rd 
bar:================2 2 2 8 2 8 0 01 1 20 0  bt./[l+14 a13 ]j rbd8 /rb1 
\let\tbbut\tbbu\def\tbbu#1{\tbbl#1\let\tbbu\tbbut}\ [ju e14 g8 ] 
/===============yielding this:It was necessary to change the first part to a 
lower beam to make the horizontal bar that we want to terminate early come out 
above the other one. That could be done in PMX. But then the termination 
command for that 2nd bar had to be changed from \tbbu to \tbbl to make it end 
at the right horizontal position, and that required inline TeX. I believe that 
any related situation can be handled similarly, with some combination of 
alterations of upness and downness within PMX, together with inline TeX as 
needed. I’m not saying it’s easy…a fair amount of trial and error may be 
needed. Unless I come across backward incompatibilities or stumble across a 
major breakthrough, I’ll be posting the new PMX version soon. --Don From:

Subject: [Tex-music] more staff crossing beams Hi all, I know, we already 
discussed this, but perhaps this problem can be solved?In each bar in the 
example, the last note of the staaf crossing beam should be an 8th. It happen 
only in the 1st bar. Andre===========2 2 3 8 3 8 0 01 1 20 0  bt.\Abpew5i[l+14
