Well, I'll report progress in small steps and you can at any stage weigh in with a comment :-) It will be the first Fortran I write since that "once long ago". There are four comments in the "To do" section: I do not intend giving any attention to those. I have split pmx287.for into 130 pieces (one program, one blockdata, about 30 functions, about 100 subroutines) and classified those by doing 'wc' on non-comment lines containing the case-insensitive string MIDI. The three numbers count lines, words and characters. addmidi.for 54 161 2453 chkimidi.for 11 35 515 docrd.for 14 39 711 dopsslur.for 15 46 822 doslur.for 15 42 783 g1etnote.for 14 52 664 g1etset.for 2 6 60 getmidi.for 63 263 3343 getnote.for 16 44 728 getset.for 2 6 58 igetvarlen.for 4 9 195 make1bar.for 8 18 353 make2bar.for 18 46 840 midievent.for 32 90 1480 pmxab.for 28 76 1210 pmxb.for 14 32 634 writemidi.for 35 89 1777 I'll imitate the practice of a clockmaker who lives in the same suburb as I do: he spends half an hour every day staring from the outside at a clock that has just come in for repairs, until he can visualize what he expects to find inside. Next he spends half an hour a day staring at the opened clock until he is convinced he knows how it is supposed to. and why it does not, work. Only then does he loosen the first litlle screw. I've made a test file that differs from one that works by just one one-voice Iv commad in the second instrument. It produces the error message "MIDI stuff only allowed at start of block". I'll consider my job done if I can hear that instrument as suddenly louder. I've already done the first part of the staring, which produced the list given above. I now have 130 little clocks that might need fixing. I'll stare first of all at the file that issues that message, then at the ones with 'midi' in their names. If by then I'm still baffled I may abandon the notion. — Dirk ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
