Rodolfo-- I'm glad to see someone using the tremolo features of PMX, and glad you found a workaround to get what you wanted. I'm very puzzled why " cd22xT20 g" didn't work for you because it did work for me (using PMX 2.94). You could also consider joining the stems of the dotted half notes with a single beam and using one disconnected one, using "cd22xT11 g".
I do get the same error message you got with " cd22xT02 g". Half note (or dotted half) tremolos are intentionally not allowed. My reference is Read's "Musical Notation" 2nd ed. I will grant that his description is somewhat confusing. He makes a distinction between measured and unmeasured tremolos, but is kind of fuzzy about how to tell one from the other. He does say that only an unmeasured tremolo in quarter notes has the primary beam broken, and that half or dotted half notes can always be joined by a primary beam, because the open note heads distinguish them as half notes. You might have noticed that I didn't implement whole note tremolos. You could try entering one in the obvious way, and it goes through without any error message, but what comes out is wrong. I think I just ran out of gas when implementing them, so they're limited to half, quarter, or eighth notes. If anyone ever asked for them I suppose I could go to work on it. --Don - -----Original Message----- From: TeX-Music <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rodolfo Medina Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2020 7:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Problem with tremolo in simple PMX example Rodolfo Medina <[email protected]> writes: > Rodolfo Medina <[email protected]> writes: > >> The following simple PMX file: >> >> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % >> --- >> %\input musixlyr >> %\special{papersize=297mm,420mm}% >> --- >> %| >> %<?xmlversion="1.0"encoding="UTF-8"?> >> %<score-partwiseversion="3.1"> >> % >> % >> %Part P1 : Piano >> % >> % >> % nv, -noinst, nostaves per instrument >> 2 -1 2 >> % mtrnuml,mtrdenl,mtrnmp,mtrdnp,xmtrnum0,isig >> 6 8 6 8 0 -3 >> % >> % npages,nsyst,musicsize,fracindent >> 0 5 16 0.07 >> Piano >> bt >> ./ >> Tt >> >> Tc >> >> Abepl >> \\input musixper\ >> %%w277m >> %%h390m >> >> cd22xT02 g / >> r2 r4 / >> %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % >> >> when processed with `musixtex file' produces the following error: >> >> Unbeamed half-note 2-note tremolo forbidden. >> >> Please help since I don't understand what the problem is. > > > ...On the other hand, if I put > > cd22xT20 g / > > instead, I get > > !
