Re: Fw: [TeX-music] dviconcat

2003-10-23 Thread Peter Vanroose
 I'm thinking there is a lot of knowledge about the DVI file here in this
 program that might be useful to learn, or manipulate this process to do
 something similarly grand.

For that purpose I think looking into dv2dp will be even more instructive!
To be found in the same place as you mentioned.

Re: [TeX-music] a beaming problem (M-Tx / PMX)

2003-09-29 Thread Peter Vanroose
 Depends on what you mean by elegant.  The way I would do it
 is to put the note on which I want the beam to be calculated
 in the melodic line and the other notes on the chord line.

The problem remains, for every choice of melodic line:
If I take c+ to be the melodic note, the beam is placed
stem-down, again disturbing the two other chord notes.
And forcing the beam up with [u gives similar problems as before.


 Alternatively, in your second version, put \lyr\ in front
 of the second note inside the forced beam.  (This kind of
 thing is discussed in one of worked examples in the Appendix
 of the M-Tx manual.)

All right, thanks.  That works perfectly.
(And it is elegant enough for my purposes).


As the original problem, from a PMX perspective:
it would be nice if the beam placement of chords would be
automatically correct (in some way or the other ...)  :-)

[TeX-music] a beaming problem (M-Tx / PMX)

2003-09-28 Thread Peter Vanroose
Dear all,

I have a beaming problem with the following M-Tx fragment:

   r8 e  e  e4 r8e  e | d4 d8 r r4 r |
C:gc gc gc  gc gc   gb gb
L:ha-la-la  sa-si-phi-la


The two 8th chords egc,egc at the end of the 1st bar are beamed (since I'm
using the -b option of M-Tx), fine, but the beam is too low: its height
seems to be calculated w.r.t. the base e, not the heigher up c.

I can of course add explicit beaming and force the beam heigher up:

r8 e  e  e4 r8 [+5 e e ] | d4 d8 r r4 r |
C: gc gc gc   gc gcgb gb
L: ha-la-la   sa-si-phi-la

but now, M-Tx is no longer placing the syllables sa- and si- on those
chords, but only the first (sa-), since explicit beaming normally means
that all these notes are sung to the same syllable.


Is there an elegant way around this problem?

Dear all,

Two weeks ago I happened to be in Bourg d'Oisans, where Daniel Taupin is
buried.  You will find a photograph of his grave (made on Sept. 7) on
http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~vanroose/Daniel_Taupin.jpeg
with, in the background, part of the mountain massive where he made his
deadly fall.

 quick and easy way to convert a BMP, JPG, GIF (or whatever) image to
 EPS format?

Use ImageMagick's convert.   See http://www.imagemagick.org/

 If you're using Windows, download Paintshop Pro.
 If you're using Unix, install either the netpbm
 or imagemagick package.

Note that ImageMagick also works perfectly on Windows.

Using the netpbm package, you will need the commands giftopnm (or whatever) and 
pnmtops.

 xv, whenever i've used it for format conversion, has produced output
 that's at screen resolution

That 's its default behaviour.  In the save box, you can select the box
saying original size; if you do so, the simage is saved at its original
size and not at the currently visible shrinked or enlarged size.

 href=nonvogl.pngmy image/a
 
 What I need in order to replace gifs by pngs for previews is (something
 like) the non-commented syntax which causes the image to pop up *only*
 when it is clicked on. My linux netscape 4.77 reports an error on
 unsupported image format as long as my netscape configuration is set to
 use the 3.2 plugger.

Maybe you will have to undo a manual setting in your preferences, which
directs Netscape to start an external program when it encounters a .png.
I am not sure if this is the problem, but you could check
Edit - Preferences - Navigator - Applications - look up the entry
for PNG image and remove it.

Re: [TeX-music] Gzip revisited

2001-05-08 Thread Peter . Vanroose

  I think we should take this seriously and reconsider the Gzip format.
 
 I completely agree !! I see no reason whatsoever to prefer Gzip to Zip.


If the reason is disk storage space on the server, the solution could be
to have to gunzip utility activated on the server, so that downloading
such a file will uncompress it on the fly, without the client noticing.

 Another even better solution would be for those poor win9x and mac
 users, would be to install Linux :)

Or just Cygwin inside of Win9x.  Works great.  And is free.
