Progress report: Not solved yet, but I see at least part of what's causing the problem. For multiplicity changes at the staff jump, I had worked out a scheme for the particular case where the multiplicity decreases right after the staff jump, for example, 16ths in the bass connected to 8ths in the treble. But Andre's example ends up exposing two major flaws in the scheme: At the end of the first segment, it looks forward (in time) for a lengthening in time values, and that doesn't apply in even the simplest case of staff-crossing 8th note chords, where the jump goes backwards, from the second 8th in the lower staff to the first in the upper. The second flaw is that I based the decision of whether there was a multiplicity change on looking at the horizontal note spacing after the staff jump at the end of the first segment. That's also just plain wrong in that the note spacing is not directly related to note duration if there are shorter notes in another staff, as in Andre's example.
So I'm still wracking my brain trying to come up with a criterion PMX can apply at the end of the first segment of a staff-jumping beam to properly deal with possible multiplicity changes there. --Don -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2020 11:14 PM To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Tex-music] cross over beamed notes Andre, does this do what you want? ==================== c82 zc+ c- zc+ c-4u zc+ // [u+18 g83 ze g ]j rb4 / [jl b83 zcr e zcr zb ] g44 ze zc zb / r1 r r r r4 / ==================== I started with the example from bar 2 of staffcrossall.pmx.

In staff 2: - The second chord looks like a 16th note, probably because of the upper staff (compare with the 2nd bar) - in the same chord i want the sequence of the 'c b' changed to 'b c' as in the 3th chord. (the upper staff is a song line, i need flagged notes there) Thanks in advance Andre ============= 3 2 2 4 2 4 0 -1 1 1 16 .08 btt ./ c82 zc+ c- zc+ c4-u zc+ // [u+18 g8 ze ]j [j g ]j rb4 / [ju c8 zb ]j [jl c ] zbr ze b4u zc ze zg // rbp / c1 da e fa g8 aa / % c82 zc+ c- zc+ c4-u zc+ // [u+18 g8 ze ]j [j g ]j rb4 / [ju c8- zb ]j [jl c ] zbr ze b4u zc ze zg // rbp / rp / =========== ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to https://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
