PMX cannot handle slurs to rests, partly because they don't make much
musical sense.  But if you really want to do this, it turns out PMX lets you
start and end a slur on the same note.  The horizontal shifts are limited,
though, to +/- 6.3 notehead widths.  See the corrected file below.

You didn't enter "Ab" at the beginning.  Explanation: the original default
behavior for PMX was to use big accidentals unless a big one would not fit
in the available space, then it switched to a small one, and then would only
add space if the small one would not fit.  At some point I decided I didn't
really like the jumble of sizes, so I programmed up "Ab" to force big
accidentals always.  But the old default had been in place for a long time,
so I didn't really want to change the default.

I also notice you aren't using postscript slurs ("Ap").  I realize there are
some features in that package that some people object to. I've been in touch
with Stanislav, he's already sent me an upgrade that addresses all of those
issues, and I've been building some more functionality into PMX to use the
new slurs.  In particular, ties and slurs will now be different whenever
"Ap" is in effect. I'm waiting for Stanislav to give me the go-ahead to post
the new slur files; the upgraded PMX may take a little longer.

There is one more problem in the example above: the accidentals are
small. At the rest of the piece, some are big and some are small. What
did I do wrong?

Hallo all!

I have a problem at the last note/pause of the following example. How
could I correct it? I want the slur to begin at the note and end at
the pause at the same height.

Thanks
Alexandros
