Re: [Tex-music] Software updates
Thanks, Dirk. I've silently replaced pmx2602.zip with a copy that contains
an updated version of pmx.tex. The changes between 2.502 and 2.602 are truly
minimal and only matter when there are two lines with figured bass.

[Tex-music] M-Tx with 17 voices
I am asked to typset a mass with 4 choirs each of 4 voices and 1 instrumental bass. Although pmx now allows up to 24 voices M-Tx gives an error "too many groups" which is caused by the forth group. If I use pmx with musixlyr I get what I want without any error. As M-Tx is much more convenient is there a possibility to overcome the limitation to 3 groups?

[Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Hello Everyone I have been using MusixTeX for some time now because I was not able to get PMX working at all - whatever the reasons may have been. But now that my musical education is getting more serious and therefore my need to write much music in a short time is getting urgent I started learning PMX today. I did a lot of reading and installed everything perfectly. This is my Setup: iMac G5 (PPC) Mac OS 10.5.8 MusixTeX 114 PMX 2.5121 MusixTeX works just fine and did so for some months by now. But there seems to be a problem in the second pass of PMX. this is my test-file: - 1 1 4 4 0 6 0 -2 1 2 16 10 % Klarinette in B % 0 ./ ( b2 f4- ) r | r2 r4 r8d d15 | ( d2 b4 ) r4 | r4 ( c45 e g4- ) | r4 ( a44 g4+ f ) % Takt 7 b45 r4 r2 | ( d25 b4 c | f44dd a3 g f4 ) r4 % - And this is what I get: - This is PMX, Version 2.521, 16 May 09 Opening /Users/philipp/Desktop/pmxtest/test.pmx Starting first PMX pass WARNING: Last non-blank character is "r", not "/,%" ASCII code: 114 Bar 1 Bar 2 Bar 3 Bar 4 Bar 5 Bar 6 Bar 7 Bar 8 WARNING: Last non-blank character is "?", not "/,%" ASCII code: 191 Done with first pass Starting second PMX pass Bar 1 Bar 2 Bar 3 Bar 4 Bar 5 Bar 6 Bar 7 Bar 8open: No such file or directory apparent state: unit 12 named .//Users/philipp/Desktop/pmxtest/test.tex lately writing sequential formatted external IO Abort trap - No .tex file is generated.

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Hi Philipp I can't test your code right now because I just have updated my Mac OS to 10.6 which broke all the programs still compiled for PPC. However, the line end thing (line end character in Mac != DOS != UN*X) you can test easily with a tool like zip/unzip: > zip temp.zip test.pmx > unzip -o -a temp.zip This will adapt all the line endings within a couple of seconds. The "last non blank character" with ASCIi code 114/191 message could point to some garbage in your file which is just not shown by your editor. The rest of the error message and the one on barsant.pmx looks really weird--no idea so far. As soon as I got PMX back to life on my compi I'll try your code. regards Bernhard On Nov 18, 2010, at 9:50 , Philipp Neukel wrote: > Hello Everyone > > I have been using MusixTeX for some time now because I was not able to get > PMX working at all - whatever the reasons may have been.

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Thanks for your help - although it did not help YET Slashes at the line end made no difference. Neither did zip/unzip. Yes i am using pmxab with the terminal. The pmx file is written with textedit and TeXworks. Independently tested. Is there actually a way to use pmx with TeXShop?

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Oh, I think I understood. It's because of the \r on Mac but \n on UNIX (but I don't understand why barsant.pmx didn't work, did you open it with TextEdit as well?). Can you use emacs? Else, try Smultron. http://smultron.sourceforge.net/ Le 18 nov. 2010 à 22:42, Philipp Neukel a écrit : > Is there actually a way to use pmx with TeXShop? Don't think so.

OK, I got emacs and Smultron. What am I to do now? I now used a completely unopened barsant - newly extracted from the zip-file. Still won't work. Philipp D-40472 --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

You should copy your PMX code into a new Smultron (or emacs) file, so that the end of lines are the correct ones. > I now used a completely unopened barsant - newly extracted from the zip-file. > Still won't work. I don't understand why. After downloading the PPC version of the package, when you do: $ cd Downloads/pmx2521-OSX/ (well, the correct path) $ ./pmxab barsant.pmx Do you get the same error? -- Jill-Jênn http://www.jill-jenn.net --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Still won't work. Thanks for your help so far. I am going to spend some time tomorrow with it. What really makes me think in this error: - … Starting second PMX pass Bar 1 Bar 2 Bar 3 Bar 4 Bar 5 Bar 6 Bar 7 Bar 8open: No such file or directory apparent state: unit 12 named… - is the "open: No such file or directory" part.

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
Philipp, I'm terribly sorry you're have such problems with MAC OS. Since I don't do MAC, I'm afraid I can't help much, although I'm going to be near one over Thanksgiving and if this is still going on I can spend a little time on it. Just FYI, the message about the last non-blank character comes from PMX, but not the one "open: No such file or directory apparent state: unit 12 named." I really hope you can get PMX to work. --Don Simons >-Original Message- >From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On >Behalf Of Philipp Neukel >Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 3:05 PM >To: Werner Icking Music Archive >Subject: Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X > >Still won't work. >Thanks for your help so far.
