Sorry - it is first now that I realize that what you request is actually 
the opposite of what I advice you to do. You'll have to *remove* option 
-b from your prepmx calling script in order to get rid of the unwanted 
beaming. The effect of -b is to force beaming *even* in case of vocal 
music - which I personally prefer. Without option -b M-Tx behaves in the 
standard way, i.e. beams only melismas.

Regardless of the point of your message, are you saying there's something
about meter changes that does not work in PMX?  Is so I'd like to know about
it, but I know for sure that "m" works as Andre described in the quote
above.

It doesn't work anyway. But even if it did, the point of my message is
different: that it's just one more 'if' in prepmx: if(eigths AND NOT
(CHORAL OR VOCAL))...

And it doesn't hurt anybody else.

Re: [TeX-music] Vertical space between lyrics

2002-06-20 Thread Andre Van Ryckeghem

other changing of space in lyrics (in \setlyrics):

moving down a word : \lower2pt\hbox{word.}
moving up: \raise3pt\hbox{word}
moving left: \kernm3ptword
moving right: \kern3ptword (or ~word)

you can play with the meter number as yo can see in this example (sorry it is pmx):
(if you dont want to see the meterchanges m8806 ---> m8800)

=

It doesn't work. I didn't check in the manual, but my script calls
prepmx with -b for many months, maybe years.

elementary, my dear Watson :-) use prepmx option -b either at the 
command line promt or in the preamble Options clause.

Documented in the M-Tx manual.

there is no problem with mr in case of single system scores. Some time 
ago a TeX-Music subscriber (I don't remember who) contributed the below 
quoted trick for fooling multibar rests into M-Tx multi system scores:
