[TeX-Music] Help! (MTX and MusixTex)

2008-04-07 Thread Carlo Centemeri
Hello everybody,
I am in big troubles with a MTX file which has given me tons of
problems. In the position of some octave shifts it kept on saying me
pitch too high (and I was inside the lines of the voice), so I said
I'll keep it one octave lower and I will correct it later in PMX.
But now also the tex compiling gives me a lot of problems (in other
measures) and I really don't know how to manage it.

I'd need to know if somebody has 5 free minutes today in the
afternoon, because I have a rehersal tonight of this piece I am
editing now. I can paste you here the fundamental lines of the
logfile, but if somebody has a moment and could contact me I could
send him the original pmx file so he can take a look around... In
change I offer perpetual friendship and rivers of beer in the first
time my saviour will come to Milan, Italy.

Thanks a lot to everybody.

Carlo

The best way to get quick help on this is to send the pmx source file
- which in all probability will be shorter than the teX log file you
sent  :-)

The orthodox prescription is to send a minimal running example that 
exhibits the problem; but if you just send the whole pmx file I'll
take a look at it.

[TeX-Music] Sorry/Solved(?) (was: Help! (MTX and MusixTex))

2008-04-07 Thread Carlo Centemeri
Hello all,
sorry, but as far as I know it was not possible to post attachments on
this ML (maybe I'm wrong, anyway), this was why I pasted the logfile.

While a great colleague called Andreas Sesterhenn is at work on my MTX
file (which I still cannot make work) I have solved the tex problem
which was due to the missing octave jumps (melody was getting too low
and so TeX was having problems). Fighting with PMX I got a file which
is far from being of but at least could fit for tonight's rehersal...

Any suggestions is welcome, anyway!

Thanks to everybody.

CArlo

Re: [TeX-Music] M-Tx-PMX-Problem

2008-04-07 Thread Hiroaki MORIMOTO
Hello Hermann,

Are you aware of the M-Tx warning messages Possible unterminated 
TeX literal? 

They are caused by '\chu {-2}\ ' and '\chl {-2}\ ' in your mtx file.
You should remove surplus whitespace like '\chu{-2}\ ', etc.

Now I'm trying to modify PMX with nm=13, using g77 compiler of MinGW5.

Best regards,

 About a fortnight ago I got the valuable help from Don, Christian, and 
 Hiroaki 
 concerning my project typesetting a psalm with 12 voices and B.C. Everthing 
 went well up to the last 2 bars, where I got an error.
 
 What I did: modifying pmxab (version 2.504) by increasing the number of 
 staves 
 to 13 (setting nm=13), compiling by f2c and gcc, including musixuad.tex into 
 mtx.tex before musixlyr.tex, using etex.
 
 The psalm consists of 108 bars. Without the last 2 bars the error disappears 
 and I got what I wanted. The error message of pmxab including  the last bars 
 is:
 
 ERROR in line 2771, bar 109 This character is not allowed here
  v 
  c93  c9 
  ^
  ASCII code: 16
 
 There is no evidence that this character is at this place.
 
 Then I splitted the psalm into 2 parts, which could be processed without any 
 error. By this I think that the syntax is ok.
 
 Although the mtx-file is about 46 kbytes I append it to this mail. Perhaps 
 this problem might be of larger interest.

I got these messages in previous versions of my text, but not in the text 
which I sent to the list. So I am surprised about your message. Do you use 
M-Tx 0.60c? 

 They are caused by '\chu {-2}\ ' and '\chl {-2}\ ' in your mtx file.

I also do that.  It is a bad habit, but so is drinking too much coffee.

The following hint may help you to minimize the negative effects of 
this bad habit.

   In the M-Tx source, use e.g. c= every so often to make sure you
   are in the desired octave relative to the default octave.  Then
   the wrong octaves do not get a chance to run wild.

If you only use + and -, it is very easy to lose track of where 
you are, particularly if you build chords with z instead of C:.
