Re: [Tex-music] Number of voices chenge in MTX
2013/6/18 Luigi Cataldi luica...@gmail.com: I know that M-Tx is not aware of movement breaks and the possibility to change the number of voices (MTX manual p. A-7). The reason for that is that I have never needed the feature myself and therefore did not master how to use it from PMX. I don't think there is any very intrinsic reason why M-Tx can't do it. So please try. Dirk --- 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

Re: [Tex-music] Number of voices chenge in MTX
If you need to post- edit the PMX file, the solution is less than 100% satisfying. Here's a thought I haven't tested: Maybe you could put inline PMX commands in the M-Tx source before and after any rp / you wish to eliminate, that record a macro and then stop recording, thereby eliminating the line from PMX processing at that time. --Don Simons -Original Message- From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Hermann Hinsch Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 8:13 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Number of voices chenge in MTX Am Dienstag, 18.

Re: [Tex-music] Number of voices chenge in MTX
Thanks to all! The problem arises from the fact that MTX add the missing voices (with rp, as Herman wrote). For this reason we need to post- edit the PMX file, and, I agree with Don, the solution is less than 100% satisfying. A simple solution is to typeset the two movements in two separate MTX files and combine the resulting tex files in a score, but, especially in the extracted parts, it's possible to have a page with just one or two staffs, situation, once again, less than 100% satisfying.

Re: [Tex-music] Number of voices chenge in MTX
Silly me, I couldn't let this rest, and started looking for ways to fool M-Tx into putting the right PMX code in the right places to get what Luigi wants without any post-editing. After many failed attempts, I did come up with something that sort of does it. But you may need to enter the source one bar at a time to get this to work. The basic idea is indeed to use MS ... M to get PMX to ignore some of the M-Tx-generated PMX code, but the devil is in the details: Style: Quintet Meter: 8/4 Pages: 2 Systems: 4 %%h %%Mov. 1 c2+ c c c g2 g g g e2+ e e e c2+ c c c c2+ c c c %%L2Mn42345batt %%h %%Mov. 2 g2 g g g e2 e e e c2 c c c M c2- c c c MS1 rp g2 g g g e2 e e e c2 c c c M c2 c c c MS1 rp g2 g g g e2 e e e c2 c c c M c2 c c c MS1 rp == --Don Simons -Original Message- From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Luigi Cataldi Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 11:10 AM To: tex-music@tug.org Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Number of voices chenge in MTX Thanks to all!
