I don’t know if you want the beam between the notes, but if not: I use forced beams (if necessary) with the chord note next to the beam as first note.

Hmmm. After a little more checking, I'd say that the beaming commands PMX sends to MusiXTeX are the same as if the chord notes weren't there. The reason the stems got shifted to the left is buried somewhere in MusiXTeX's handling of the chordal notes when they come out on the opposite side of the beam from the main notes. Here's a slightly modified example. [ e82 zg+ f8- za+ ] e- f [ e82 zg f8 za+ ] \pnotes{2.00}\ibu1E1\zq{'G}\qb1{`E}\zq{''A}\tbu1\qb1{``F}\ibu1E1\qb1E% \tbu1\qb1F\ibu1E1\zq G\qb1E\zq{''A}\tbu1\qb1{``F}\en% The beam initiation and termination commands are the same for each beam. Given that this has been going on forever, and because there’s a straightforward work-around using PMX’s manual beam height and slope tweaks, I’m not highly motivated to upgrade PMX’s logic to deal with it. --Don -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
