[TeX-music] MusiXTeX authors and other questions
Greetings: I've been writing a greatly revised chapter on notation software for the 2nd edition of my book, and I've completed the profile of MusiXTeX but I don't have a list of recent and current maintainers. Can someone direct me to that information ? Also, does a CVS exist for MusiXTeX ? What about PMX ? I've had some problems with PMX, but I'm still studying how it works and will hopefully be able to resolve my difficulties on my own. Hopefully... ;) Finally, I was able to build Mux2D for Qt 3.2.2, and I wondered whether a newer version was available anywhere. CVS maybe ? TIA!

I'm not positive anymore, but I think it was Muffat. At any rate, the figured bass line was up in the concertino, rather than on the bottom line with the ripieno group, where PMX would normally look for it. That line was the regular basso. I should probably add, though, that this was a "modern" edition and not a facsimile or original source.< Just to clarify things for those who aren't familiar with Pasquini's figured bass pieces, the thing that really distinguishes them is that there is nothing else there except one or two figured bass lines. They all come from one 1703 manuscript which has been reproduced in facsimile as Volume 8 of the series "17th Century Keyboard Music" by Garland with an introduction by Alexander Silbiger. As a result of this thread I pulled my copy off the shelf and re-read the introduction. The MS has 344 pages of which fully 277 are devoted to the figured-bass pieces. Scholars have argued ad nauseum about their intent: teaching pieces? accompaniments to lost solo lines? or stand-alone musical works? Silbiger goes with door #3. As to whether there are other works like this, Silbiger says "Collections of such pieces are by no means rare; most date from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, and all share certain common features." Then he gives a reference to "Vol. 13 of this set" without saying who the other composer was or what the common features are. --Don Simons > Don Simons ha scritto: > > >When I saw the subject line I immediately thought about Pasquini > and those > >strange pieces.

Re: [TeX-music] Two figured bass line in PMX
Thank you very much Don! I'll wait for this function. My interest for those strange pieces is essentially musicological: the violin sonata influence on the keyboard music after Corelli. As far I know there are no other works of this kind. But I think that it's possible to find two figured bass line in works for double choir, like the "Dixit Dominus" RV594 by Vivaldi (if I remember well). About your proposal to play togeter, I should be happy, but it's just a dream for me: I play (if we can say to play in this case) keyboard in an horrible manner :-( Have a nice time! Don Simons ha scritto: When I saw the subject line I immediately thought about Pasquini and those strange pieces. Are there any other works with two parallel lines of figured bass? Sometime in the last decade I set out to typeset some of them, and I made a special version of PMX to do it. I did get the process working but never got very far with the typesetting. I can't think of any good way to do it in the current PMX. If you have some patience, I'll try to find the old special version and integrate the capability into modern PMX. It'll be a good spare-time project for my long-awaited vacation starting this Thursday, most of which I'll spend playing harpsichord and visiting old friends at the International Baroque Institute at Longy in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Then when you finish the typesetting, we can get together and play them :-) --Don Simons ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Hum! In Europe this may not be enough, unless Good Patrick Vretblad was kind

Otherwise it will be copyrighted until year-of-death + 70 years.
