[Tex-music] [PMX] Expected a number here for the pause
Hi guys, hisashiburi¹! Well, I was horrified by this error: “Expected a number here for the pause” on It56ipipi in a 2 1 3 4 3 4 0 4 file. Hopefully, in pmx270.pdf, I found: “The number of arguments following suboption i […] must in fact equal the number of *instruments*. Before version 2.7, it was the number of staves (despite the incorrect description in the manual!) These numbers may differ and this creates a backward incompatibility.” But, right after: “Hoping this won’t cause too much distress, I’ve enhanced the real-time error messages.” Maybe you should replace “Expected a number here for the pause” with “Well, since PMX 2.7, only one mention of the instrument is needed. Have a nice day.”, etc. Best, ¹ http://jisho.org/words?jap=hisashiburi -- Jill-Jênn --- 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] [XeTeX] Japanese title in a PMX/MusiXTeX sheet, a solution

It's “énorme” (with the acute accent), not “emorme” (OMGWTF). Your way may be enough just for the title, however, may not be enough for lyrics. I have heard there is a XeTeX's special primitive \XeTeXlinebreaklocale, but I have no further idea. Thanks for the idea. Actually, I haven't learned M-Tx yet, so I don't put any lyrics. Obviously, if anyone has a better idea, I'm interested as well. Thanks in advance and happy end of year, P.

Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
2010/11/19 Bernhard Lang bernhard.l...@gmx.ch: 1st attempt, run the binary pmxab: the compiled pmxab relies on a dynamically linked library called libgfortran.3.dylib which is supposed to be in the directory /usr/local/gfortran/lib/ which is of course not there. pmxab dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/gfortran/lib/libgfortran.3.dylib Referenced from: /Users/bernhard/temp/pmx/pmx2521-OSX-Intel/./pmxab Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap I'm so sorry. I indeed compiled it with gfortran (don't remember if I used a PKG file or the fink version, but I fink it was think (or the contrary)), but I should have used extra options. I didn't know it would use such a dylib file. 3rd attempt, install f2c from fink: local problem, after reinstalling fink, f2c provided by fink runs now, but the package doesn't provide the necessary library libf2c or similar What about MacPorts? I dont have MacPorts here so I can't tell you if it exists. 2010/11/19 Philipp Neukel phil...@neukel.com: Just to let you know, maybe you can see the mistake: I made a large amount of new test.pmx files playing around with the Smultron encoding settings (all als plain text Document): No effect (but none expected) OK. UTF-8 is better. I completely reinstalled PMX: pmxab and scor2prt to usr/local/bin So I assume: $ which pmxab Returns: “/usr/local/bin/pmxab”? pmx.tex to usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/generic/PMX I assume you downloaded the PPC version (sorry to ask)? I moved pmx.tex to usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/generic/musixtex but moved it back after it did not work This file is important for the compilation of the MusiXTeX file. I made an individual texhash run after each change It is important when you modify the $TEXMFLOCAL folder. I tried all the changes in all possible combinations. Just consider that time! :/ Nothing helped. :( I read Bernhard's Mail today about the compiling and programming problems. I just used the Mac OS X files from the WIMA page. Could that be my mistake? What do I have to do to compile all that myself? Considering I never installed or used anything like that: What do I have to download and install in what order, how, where on the HD? By chance, do you have fink? I assume you don't. Try: $ which fink In the Terminal. This afternoon, I'll be in front of an iMac G5 PPC too. I'll install pmxab again as well and tell you. -- 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
Re: [Tex-music] PMX and Mac OS X
2010/11/19 Philipp Neukel phil...@neukel.com:
Hey everyone,
I have a funny thing to tell you: It works now.
The question: How?
Honestly - I am not sure.
It works whenever I have pmxab in the same folder as the pmx-file and I use
it via
$ cd .../folder
$ ./pmxab file.pmx
I replaced the pmxab in usr/local/bin many times by now, but it never
worked, only when I do it this way. It looks like a property problem. But it
cannot be for it won't work when i am logged in as root.
Thanks for your help, I would have given up without you and it was you
suggestion Jill-Jênn, which gave me the idea and the right command at hand.
Thanks a lot.
I advise you to make a directory bin is your home directory (~/bin),
then put pmxab in it, then:
$ emacs .tcshrc
I bet the problem lies in it, could you please tell me what you see in it?
(Oh, wait, is it indeed written tcsh in the title of your terminal
window? If it's written bash, you have to replace .tcshrc with
.profile)
If you can't use emacs, just do:
$ mv .tcshrc LOOOL
So you can open LOOOL with Smultron and modify it.
Put:
setenv PATH $HOME/bin:$PATH
at the end.
Then, obviously:
$ mv LOOOL .tcshrc
So ~/bin/pmxab will prevail over /usr/local/bin/pmxab (don't know why
this one doesn't work though).
And here is my first question as real PMX user:
There are so many
\hardspace{pt}%
in the generated tex-file. It is annoying. It gives me
bar 3
! Missing number, treated as zero.
to be read again
*
argument *
***pt
\hardspace #1-\ch...@nopen \...@rmskip \...@v #1
\addspace \...@v \...@spc
l.53 \hardspace{pt}
%
?
basically with every bar. Even if I make two or three pmx-runs. Is this
supposed to happen?
This is due to your indentation (the last number is the preamble). It
should be like 0.085 if it is “Piano”, so maybe 0.09 for “Klarinette
in B”.
Don't forget to musixflx!

While we're at it, here are two more comments:
1. It's can be dangerous to use letters to refer to pitches in in-
line TeX.
It's OK here, but definitely a bad idea if you alter octaves,
because PMX
will not know about the octave change.
OK.
2. You should do something to increase the lengths of the stems on
the first
beat of the last bar, such as [+3 ..., or entering the notes with the
highest one first.
Yup, I used to do that +k thing, but I'll enter highest notes first
from now on.

For starters, your K refers to a pitch on a d, the middle line of bass clef (which BTW is only true because it hasn't been altered by an earlier octave change in the transpose register), while my 5 refers to the c above middle c in treble clef. And even for the same length parameter, since it's given in \noteskips, the printed length will be affected by both the note value and by \elemskip, and \elemskip is probably different in the two examples.

Furthermore, according to the Baroque convention, the repeated note after the bar line would inherit the accidental. Therefore, as a silent protest, I've made the MIDI generation in PMX adhere to the Baroque convention in this instance.

I guess that's pretty obvious since that's all you changed. But in the first case it's the very last item in the excerpt, and PMX will probably never recognize Type 1 in-line TeX in that location. Ok, I knew the origin of the matter, but I hadn't any explanation. The PMX manual pmx250.pdf says Type 1 begins with a single \ and will appear in the .tex file right before the TeX command for the next note or rest in the .pmx ?le. If there is no next note or rest, you've obviously violated PMX's rules and are being punished accordingly. But that may not be all you need to worry about. In truth, you might be able to cook up some cases where there IS a next note or rest, but there are some other PMX things in between, and it might still work. PMX does not screen for such occurrances and the results are unpredictable. To maximize the chances that Type 1 works correctly, put it IMMEDIATELY before the PMX command for a note or rest. Please, don't punish me ! Ok, so I've to put \Toctfin1\ just before the last note in the 8va. \toctfin1 doesn't work because \toctfin is shorthand for \Toctfin0 . It does seem that there's an error in pmxccn.pdf . And even if the reference were changed to \Toctfin1 , there's still and issue with its positioning. Cornelius? Thank you for all ! I remarked too that you have to be careful with too much long lines... -- Jill-Jênn http://mickay.jill.free.fr/score/ ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
