Re: [Tex-music] Keyboard edition with modern clefs
Hi Don, 1. No there is no rule. Instead of changing the clef you could use 8va-signs. At the bottom of the upper staff you should not use more than three ledger lines. It gets really kinky collaborating with the lower staff. 2. If I would play this on the piano (or harpsichord or another interchangeable instrument) I would decide whether the phrase belongs to the right or the left hand. But modifying stem direction would be my tool of choice. Even if the LH is at the very bottom of the lower staff, you can direct the stems down. Looks weird, but helps the overview and therefore the music. Whatever helps the music is allowed!

OK, you are going to laugh about this: I just forgot to delete the old .mx1 and .mx2 files… I needed almost an hour to figure that out.

It does work that way, but it completely screws up my layout. I will work on

[Tex-music] Mysterious Line Number Eight
Hello,
I have a problem with PMX: After successfully compiling PMX 2613 and installing
it, it messes up with my sources: It adds a Line (which is ALWAYS Number Eight)
to the Tex File:
$ \setmaxslurs{24}\setmaxinstruments{24}%
my PMX preamble looks like this:
$$$
3 2 4 4 0 6 .25 -4
0 6 16 .2
%
Pianoforte
Clarinetto in Si\ppff b
%
btt
./
Apr
h270m
w190m
\\input musixger\
\\setsign2{-2}\
%
$$$
I would not mind this beautiful line, if it was of any good. But kills my TeX.
What is triggering it, why does it kill TeX (MusixTeX 1.15), how can I avoid
this line or/and its consequences?
Thanks,
Philipp

My PMX file codes just this:

I used copy&paste to be sure.
PMX doubled the backslashes. It made two at the end, too.

[Tex-music] PMX: Octave change at first triplet note
Hallo Everyone Today I have a rather stupid problem: This is my code: ( e2 f4x3 ) ( f o.: g a4x3 b c o: ) | d4 c8 D> b ( b2 oT0 G2m2Wa b ) D> / While the first e2 is in the 5th octave (said in PMX vocabulary) conditioned by the previous line. Everything works just fine, but the following f should not be in the 5th octave but in the 4th. How can I do that? I tried placing "-" and "4" at various places but it never worked. Sometimes PMX gave an Error, but often it just froze. If I cannot get this done the complete line is in the wrong octave, which is rather suboptimal. Even if I shorten the line to one bar, this bar is in the wrong octave. Is there a way to solve this easily?

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
OK all. It works now. I cannot tell you why, because I did not do anything than use it the way it did. And now it works the way it should and I can use PMX perfectly. There are just a few problems left, but they are propably human dependent or else I will write again.

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Hey everyone,
I have a funny thing to tell you: It works now.
The question: How?
Honestly - I am not sure.
It works whenever I have pmxab in the same folder as the pmx-file and
I use it via
$ cd .../folder
$ ./pmxab file.pmx
I replaced the pmxab in usr/local/bin many times by now, but it never
worked, only when I do it this way. It looks like a property problem.
But it cannot be for it won't work when i am logged in as root.
Thanks for your help, I would have given up without you and it was you
suggestion Jill-Jênn, which gave me the idea and the right command at
hand.
Thanks a lot.
And here is my first question as real PMX user:
There are so many
\hardspace{pt}%
in the generated tex-file. It is annoying. It gives me
bar 3
! Missing number, treated as zero.
*
*
***pt
\hardspace #1->\ch...@nopen \...@rmskip \...@v #1
\addspace \...@v \...@spc
l.53 \hardspace{pt}
%
?
basically with every bar. Even if I make two or three pmx-runs. Is
this supposed to happen?

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Just to let you know, maybe you can see the mistake: I made a large amount of new test.pmx files playing around with the Smultron encoding settings (all als plain text Document): No effect (but none expected) I completely reinstalled PMX: pmxab and scor2prt to usr/local/bin pmx.tex to usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/generic/PMX I placed an alias of pmxab in usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/bin but deleted it after it did not work I moved pmx.tex to usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/generic/musixtex but moved it back after it did not work I made an individual texhash run after each change I did all that once more while using the super-user to exclude property problems I tried all the changes in all possible combinations. Just consider that time! Nothing helped. I read Bernhard's Mail today about the compiling and programming problems. I just used the Mac OS X files from the WIMA page. Could that be my mistake? What do I have to do to compile all that myself? Considering I never installed or used anything like that: What do I have to download and install in what order, how, where on the HD?

Still won't work. Thanks for your help so far. I am going to spend some time tomorrow with it. What really makes me think in this error: - … Starting second PMX pass Bar 1 Bar 2 Bar 3 Bar 4 Bar 5 Bar 6 Bar 7 Bar 8open: No such file or directory apparent state: unit 12 named… - is the "open: No such file or directory" part.

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
OK, I got emacs and Smultron. What am I to do now? I now used a completely unopened barsant - newly extracted from the zip-file. Still won't work. Philipp D-40472 --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Thanks for your help - although it did not help YET Slashes at the line end made no difference. Neither did zip/unzip. Yes i am using pmxab with the terminal. The pmx file is written with textedit and TeXworks. Independently tested. Is there actually a way to use pmx with TeXShop?

[Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Hello Everyone I have been using MusixTeX for some time now because I was not able to get PMX working at all - whatever the reasons may have been. But now that my musical education is getting more serious and therefore my need to write much music in a short time is getting urgent I started learning PMX today. I did a lot of reading and installed everything perfectly. This is my Setup: iMac G5 (PPC) Mac OS 10.5.8 MusixTeX 114 PMX 2.5121 MusixTeX works just fine and did so for some months by now. But there seems to be a problem in the second pass of PMX. this is my test-file: - 1 1 4 4 0 6 0 -2 1 2 16 10 % Klarinette in B % 0 ./ ( b2 f4- ) r | r2 r4 r8d d15 | ( d2 b4 ) r4 | r4 ( c45 e g4- ) | r4 ( a44 g4+ f ) % Takt 7 b45 r4 r2 | ( d25 b4 c | f44dd a3 g f4 ) r4 % - And this is what I get: - This is PMX, Version 2.521, 16 May 09 Opening /Users/philipp/Desktop/pmxtest/test.pmx Starting first PMX pass WARNING: Last non-blank character is "r", not "/,%" ASCII code: 114 Bar 1 Bar 2 Bar 3 Bar 4 Bar 5 Bar 6 Bar 7 Bar 8 WARNING: Last non-blank character is "?", not "/,%" ASCII code: 191 Done with first pass Starting second PMX pass Bar 1 Bar 2 Bar 3 Bar 4 Bar 5 Bar 6 Bar 7 Bar 8open: No such file or directory apparent state: unit 12 named .//Users/philipp/Desktop/pmxtest/test.tex lately writing sequential formatted external IO Abort trap - No .tex file is generated.

Re: [TeX-Music] Changing the notes type font from ordinary notes to percussion notes within PMX
Hello there
The "problem" is, that musixper adds a set of macros for different
Perc notes. So there is no "easy way" to start or stop perc. You have
to do it by hand and look them up in musixdoc. To write a command for
one of them is actually rather easy, but then you could just use the
original macro.

The first form only alters one note; the second is sticky. Perhaps
one of
the TeXperts can concoct a macro \percnote{x} that will in effect
precede
the next note command with x, where x could be any one OR two
letters such
as dc, dh, do, x, ox, ro, tg, k.

Re: [TeX-Music] Changing the notes type font from ordinary notes to percussion notes within PMX
Hello Dieter I am very unfamiliar with PMX for I did it the hard way and learnt MusiXTeX only. It probably was a mistake. But in MusiXTeX the most beautiful percussion notes (and I think the only way to do it) are done by using the extension musixper which has to be loaded at the very beginning of the document. Then you have a macro-set for perc.-notes (can be looked up in musixdoc). It should look like this: \input musixtex \input musixmad \input musixtri \input musixsty \input musixbm \input musixbbm \input musixdbr \input musixlyr \input musixps \input musixper% <<--- The important line for you \input musixstr Philipp Neukel D-63225 Langen ___ tex-mu...@icking-music-archive.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://mailman.nfit.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music
