Re: [Tex-music] MTX file can't add another line
Hi Aki, the problem in your example is the last bar in line 10: It is too short (only 1/2 note in a 4/4 bar). When it is the very last bar, the error isn't shown, as incomplete bars might occur as pickups or in the end of the piece. But when you use the next line, the error gets detected - this is what > Line has 3 bars + 32/64 notes > c4 [ c8 d ] e4 [ e8 f ] | g4 [ a8 g ] e2 | g4 [ f8 e ] d4 [ e8 d ] | c2 | > Line does not end at complete bar: ERROR on line 10 means.

For me, it works perfectly without closing the pdf viewer - under debian Linux, I use okular or xpdf as PDF viewer, under Windows SumatraPDF is a PDF viewer which does not block the files and reloads the file without losing the displayed page :-) If you prefer adobe reader, there are possibilities to send closing and opening commands to the reader - you may search in the web for texniccenter and acrobat or something similar.

[Tex-music] wrong height of brace and shift of rest
Hi, in the attached piece the square brace grouping the choir is too large. It seems to have to do something with the different sizes of the staves. The second problem is the shifted full-bar rest in the top voice in the first bar. It seems that the vertical shift uses the wrong size.

[Tex-music] Broken text fonts after update of musixtex
Hello, on my debian system I recently got an update of musixtex from version 1:1.15.ctan20131214-1 to 1:17.ctan20150601-2. With the new version, when using musixtmr for times font, the layout changed dramatically in the headlines (too big headers) and - which is even worse - the umlauts are broken. I attached an example score compiled with both versions and the source files. Can anyone reproduce this behavior, or has an idea why the new version is broken?

Hi Simon, > after searching the WIMA for several days I > understood so far, that the proper way of > typesetting music including lyrics is using M-Tx. > I did not find a way to add chord symbols > to my sheet of music via M-Tx so far. M-Tx is quite convenient for music with lyrics - but it is also not too difficult to do the same stuff directly in pmx. You can just take a piece written in M-Tx, compile it to pmx and see the few lines defining the lyrics part (with musixlyr definitions - it is quite easy to learn from the pmx file), if you already know and like pmx. > Is it possible to do so by M-Tx or do I have to > write my music and lyrics in M-Tx, compile the > *.mtx-file to *.pmx and add the chords > "by hand" into the *.pmx-file (i.e. using pmxchord)? Usually, you can use any pmx commands in M-Tx files - nearly all commands that M-Tx doesn't understand are just passed to pmx. I like the header parts and the lyrics definitions of M-Tx more than the ones of pmx :-) But it's just a matter of taste...

Re: [Tex-music] wrong bracket size
Hi Dirk, > Do they look OK if you omit this line: > > Space: -3 -2 -2 -2 -2 +3 that doesn't change this problem. Playing a bit further, however, I just found out that omitting the line Size: 16 16 20 seems to help. So it looks as if the height or the upper ending position of the bracket gets messed up when there are different staff sizes - it also looks OK when I change the overall size to 16 with Size: 16 However, I don't understand why the bracket is too high although it is already in the larger staff sizes. > If so, the problem would be that the TeX code emitted by > \mtxGroup does not take into account the settings implied > by the \mtxInterInstrument commands before it. Interesting idea. Normally it seems to work. But I don't know how the change in staff sizes is organized.

Have a look at http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb32-1/tb100gregorio.pdf for a detailed description of the installation of texlive on debian-based systems. Version 2013 should work the same way.

This directory is automagically on the PATH. But with the texlive version from ctan you shouldn't need that - getting the packages via tlmgr should do the job.

When you do the /full/ installation, you get some gigabyte of packages, no matter if compressed or uncompressed, as the tug installation media changed from several CDs to a DVD (there are several tex engines, different macro pakages, helper programs and thousands of packages, fonts etc. - but then you could even set klingon music with additional texts in runes and the japanese and arabic translations ;-) ).

Unfortunately I have texlive only installed via debian packages, and there some packages (as pmx and m-tx) are separately handled by the debian package management. On tex-level, you can always type texhash in a command windows, that re-creates the package data base. But there must also be a command option of tlmgr or a button in tlmgr --gui (or how you get the gui of the texlive manager - should also have an entry in the start menu). I would also first of all do a full update of any outdated package via the tlmgr, at least from miktex I know that bugfixes of a single latex package take some time to get into the windows installers. > On a related note, and before I did the above test, I was explaining to a > Mac-head friend about the supposedly new and seamless way that people can > get tex, musixtex, and pmx from online archives.

An installation of full texlive in 15 minutes would be increadibel fast - I suppose he just installed the basic tex engine with the most basic latex packages. That is enough for the classic "hello world" example of a latex document (but for extra features like music notation you will need extra packages). I hope you get the installation working soon.

The problem is the LTS version: either you use the up-to-date version (raring? At least quantal!) and get texlive2012, or you use the LTS version getting only security fixes and some tested bugfix version and have a stable, but soon somehow outdated system... it was your choice ;-) Of course you /can/ install texlive by hand, if you don't care about the benefits of a clean system package management system.

And works quite well. Only some of the short commands for compiling the m-tx sources seem to be missing ("pmx2pdf" and "m-tx"), but the basic commands prepmx (for m-tx) and pmx (pmx & tex for pmx -> dvi) are working great.

Re: [Tex-music] m-tx/pmx: ignoring repeats etc. at end of file

With the new version of pmx (beta 2.616) I tried it out once more and got some strange effects: When I use the precompiled pmxab.exe with wine under my debian linux, everything is fine and the repeat appears in the .tex file. But when I compiled the pascal source with gfortran, as described in the comments of the souce, the resulting pmxab produces the following error in the .pml log: Last non-blank character is "3", not "/,%" ASCII code: 51 and the repeat is missing. Also, instead of \endpiece, \Endpiece is used. Playing around a bit with the last input block of the .pmx file shows that the error happend when additional stuff (the comment line % Coded by M-Tx or even an additional newline) comes after the newline at the end of the last music block. So the detection of the end of the piece doesn't seem to work when pmxab is compiled that way. Can anyone confirm this behavior when compiling under linux? And where does the errormessage come from? Best regards, Simon I confirmed with a binary editor that all lines end with Hex 0D 0A as they should in Windows text files. Assuming you don't want to buy a new computer or OS to fix your problem, you might try just ending the piece with a single bar, and getting the terminal repeat with inline TeX.

The PMX syntax "...| Rb /" is pretty flakey and I'd have thought either we'd get a PMX error or the "Rd" would be ignored. But neither is happening; the "Rd" causes \endpiece rather than \Endpiece , and the inline TeX redefinition of \endpiece does the trick. This all kinda makes me wonder how M-Tx users get double bars at the ends of pieces (since using "|" after the last line in the M-Tx evidently gave Rd in the PMX and \endpiece in the TeX) , and that'll be my next investigation. --Don Simons -Original Message- From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Simon Dreher Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2011 1:51 PM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: [Tex-music] m-tx/pmx: ignoring repeats etc. at end of file Hello, I still have the problem that m-tx/pmx ignores commands after the last note at the end of the piece, as I tried to explain some time ago.

Re: [Tex-music] vertical space of interstaff compiled with pdflatex
Hi Don, I tried to look into your problem but your file requires the file scrartcl.cls, evidently part of a package called templates-fenn, and I can't find either of them in a form I can use with MiKTeX 2.6. If you can provide a further-stripped-down version that doesn't require exotic tex-live packages, I'd still be willing to take a look, although without any guarantees at all due to my rudimentary experience with latex. scrartcl.cls is part of the KOMAscript bundle, which is available in MikTeX (at least in the current version 2.9, but also in the older versions 2.8 and 2.7.). At least in Germany, it is now most often recommended as "standard" LaTeX document class, as it is better configurable than article and matches better European or at least German layout traditions. With article.cls (and no Russian babel option, is not installed at my computer), the problem seems to be the same. The modified source is below.

In your mail from Sun Apr 24 11:49:11, you told me that you included these commands in PMX: ;-) As to whether you need etex or not with 1.15, the answer is yes and no: Yes, for ANY musixtex file generated with PMX, because I took the easy way out and had PMX always insert the commands \setmaxslurs{24}\setmaxinstruments{24} . And no, if you use a manually generated musixtex file that doesn't use more than 12 voices. That's this part of the mystery. And perhaps this also explains why the etex package must be loaded?

If you have these eps (for example created with (La)TeX), you can convert/export it with gsview to a pixel graphics format like .png or .tif (I would not use .jpg because they have compession artefacts on the white background). In a next step you can convert them back to eps, for example with the command line tool bmeps which should come with MikTeX (so you can at least install it with the MikTeX package manager), with "convert" of the imagemagick tool (a swiss army knife for image manipulation via command line), or gimp, which is a wonderful graphics manipulation program (you can get all of these programs for free). With these steps you get a .eps bitmap image without any character information for inclusion in LaTeX. > I've created .jpg and .bmp graphics using Paint > or Lviewpro, then tried to insert them into the LaTeX file with e.g. > \includegraphics{dsimonsemail.bmp}, but LaTeX complains that it doesn't know > the size of the graphic and needs a bounding box. The problem here ist that "normal" LaTeX can only handle eps images. However, with pdfLaTeX you can include png or jpg pictures (and of course pdf files), but here you get problems with (e)ps pictures or commands, as they are necessary for example for ps-slurs. There exist several workarounds for using (e)ps with pdfLaTeX, but they are non-trivial.

Re: [TeX-Music] Lyrics are not displayed in resulting "*.pdf" or "*.dvi" file after compiling a "*.mtx" file
Hi Dieter, instead of "Style: Piano" you should use a style with lyrics. When you need something like piano staves with text, it could be TEXTPIANO: Voices RH LH; Choral; Clefs G F Style: Textpiano Just have a look at p.8 of the manual, there are the different possibilities explained. Good luck, Simon I've used "musictex" in combination with "LaTeX" two years ago to layout two pieces of music. Since one week I'm trying to learn using "MusiXTeX", "PMX" and "M-Tx", and my first steps typesetting notes were successful so far. But trying to add some lyrics is the beginning of my problems. When adding text as noted in "M-Tx" manual to my piece of music I compile it using the process "prepmx -> pmxab -> tex -> musixflx -> tex -> dvipdfm". But unfortunately only the notes are visible, not the lyrics! So I tested arround but everything seems to be fine, because there are no errors displayed during compilation or in the log files. To find out if I'm in trouble with my "MikTeX" installation under WindowsXP I've tested typesetting using the example "Net soos ek is" from Dirk Laurie's "M-Tx" manual. And what should I say?

Hello Jean-Pierre, > The trouble is that if I left the previous Acrobat window open, the > current call to MiKTeX Ghostscript ps2pdf fails because my .pdf file > cannot be overwritten, and I stay with the previous version displayed. another (often used) option is to use Foxit Reader http://foxitsoftware.com/ instead of the Adobe Reader. AFAIK it can't update the loaded PDF, so you have to close and re-open it manually, but it doesn't lock the PDF. There seems to be a script-based solution to automatically close and re-open the PDF, but I didn't try it myself: Just search for foxit and latex or TeXnicCenter (even if you don't use them). Foxit Reader is a very nice alternative to Adobe Reader! Another nice (and /very/ light) PDF viewer is sumatrapdf http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/ It's free and very slim, but doesn't lock PDFs and can reload them (by just typing "r").

[TeX-Music] major bug in m-tx with cresc. and Ap
Hello, I tried to get http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/loewe/schaffe_in_mir_gott.zip to work with the Ap option. But when I insert it, the generated pmx code is invalid.

[TeX-music] Re: tex input at the begin of a block
Thank you very much for the tip - it works fine! As I got similar problems already some times before (TeX-input put at the wrong place or ignored), my question is if it would be possible to add a fourth command to PMX which puts a TeX-command just /before/ the current block, after all line breaks and such things. Also, it would be nice if TeX-input after the last note of a block (with the input-commands of any type) could be inserted and would not be ignored as they are now. Would it take major efforts to make such changes or additions? Best regards, Simon First of all I found a problem using your trick to get the last double bar line as a standard bar rule: You put \\\stdbarrule\ at the begin of the last bar / the last line. But unfortunatey, without your various definitions before the block, the bar rule /before/ this bar is also a standard bar rule. Is there any possibility to put TeX-commands at the beginning of a block instead of the end of the block that is coded before, as the TeX-Input with \\\code\ ? Look at the following little examples, in both examples the code is at the wrong place, before \alaligne or before the code of the page break. And after the /last/ note, \\\code\ is simply ignored (why?).

The commands ls -l /usr/local/bin/musixflx ls -l /usr/local/bin/pmxab ls -l /usr/local/bin/scor2prt should give an output beginning with -rwxr-xr-x Before you can use musixtex, you will also have to execute texhash as root!

[TeX-music] \llyr has no effect at 1st note
Hallo, why do the \llyr\ -commands take no effect when placed before the first note when there is a verse number? And what about the strange behaviour when verse numbers are placed only in some of the verses? When I coded the following example (for older versions of m-tx and pmx) I had placed \llyr\lyroffset{-3}\ before the first note - I don't know which standard behaviour the old versions had. Why did it change? \lyroffset also seems to have an effect only on the numbers and no more on the first syllable, so you can't put the lyrics of the first notes to the left any more if they are a bit too long.

[TeX-music] note size and position with \metron
Hello, using \metron I get some strange output: If I don't change the font size used by m-tx for uptext lines, the note gets much too big. I corrected the size of the note with \tinynotesize in the next example and used a larger font for the text in the last example, here the sizes fit much better. (Would it be possible to modify \metron to get the correct note size automatically?) But in all three cases I think the note should be right shifted, specially in the smaller note size, and a little bit lower, too. How can I do this?

[TeX-music] cue notes and small dynamic signs
Hallo, As I'd like to typeset a piece with many rests, I'd like to have cue notes in one of the voices. Is it possible to put all of them into a single voice added to the bass staff without influencing the direction of the stem direction of my bass voice? It would be much simpler to get different versions with or without this notes.

It's no problem to process them with prepmx, but unfortunately the resulting files have too many lines. Removing comment lines in the resulting .pmx-file, I could process it. How can I remove these lines automatically? (I use a Debian Linux.) Why does prepmx use one input block per bar and doesn't put as many bars into one input block as I do in the M-Tx-coding?

Re: [TeX-music] First steps with MusiXTeX

I downloaded 'musixtex-T112.tar' and unzipped it, but I don't manage to generate the fonts when I try to process some of Taupin's examples, like kv315f.tex, neither when I open some of the dvi files, like musixdoc.dvi. When I try to copy the tfm files into the directory ...texmf/fonts/tfm/public/musictex, Linux denies me the permissions. Hi Rodolfo, did you try this as root? Root should have writing permission to the folders you need. When you got all tfm files to the folder texmf/fonts/tfm/public/musix (and the other stuff to the suitable places, i.e. the files in the subdirectory metafont to texmf/fonts/source/public/musix, the files in the subdirectory tex to texmf/tex/musixtex and musixflx to /usr/local/bin), don't forget to run texhash or mktexlsr. Then you should have no problems with the examples. You should also have a look at pmx and perhaps also pmxpp or m-tx, it's _much_ less work to typeset a piece of music using these preprocessors than using musixtex directly! Neither with MikTeX I manage to generate the fonts when I open musixdoc.dvi. I don't use MikTex, so I can't say how to get the stuff there.
