Dieter—
Speaking of more relevant problems, I noticed one in this example: It seems that PMX cannot do the after-grace on the last note of bar 2. But that could be even more tricky to fix. I also thought it would be interesting to directly compare the layout PMX produces vs the one from Lilypond. Lilypond, then PMX at 16 pt: Several things I notice: 1. On the double-beamed graces, PMX’s stem could be shorter. I’ve noticed all along that the MusiXTeX default stem length on multiply beamed notes is longer than I would prefer. I think it just builds outward from the single-beam height. For non-grace notes you can change the beam height case-by-case, but I doubt it’s currently possible with graces in PMX. 2. PMX has a noticeably wider blank space at the end of each bar. 3. PMX’s grace note bodies are all a bit closer to the main note than Lilypond’s. But on single graces, Lilypond’s flag drops lower than MusixTeX’s. 4. PMX’s slurs end before crossing the main stem; Lilypond’s cross it. I’m open to comments and possible code revisions on any of this. --Don From: TeX-Music <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dieter Sent: Saturday, December 5, 2020 2:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tex-music] PMX grace note problem Hi Don-- Of course you are perfectly right, not spending days on this problem, just in order to satisfy the testsuite. I might encounter other problems in the testsuite, which are more relevant. --Dieter Am 05.12.2020 um 02:28 schrieb [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> : In light of my recent problems posting to ICK, I’m curious to see if this goes through. The only PMX problem here occurs with a 2-note, unbeamed grace. It’s true that PMX chokes on this, and its also true that with some effort I could modify the code to make it work. But really?? Is there any composer in the history of the world who has ever called for multiple unbeamed grace notes on a single note?? --Don From: TeX-Music <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Dieter Sent: Friday, December 4, 2020 8:00 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]> Subject: [Tex-music] PMX grace note problem I am checking XML2PMX with the the inofficial testsuite for MusicXML of Lilypond.
