Thanks, Bob. I didn't think to look at the TeX file PMX generated. With my fading memory, I (re)learn something old every day. But I will say that the wording in the MusiXTeX manual as quoted above is misleading...it implies you need to explicitly use \wholeshift to center \Fermataup over a whole note, while in fact that's one case where musixtex.tex does it for you. --Don ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
