OK. If any users think it should be available at WIMA,
please let Hiroaki know.

Re: [Tex-music] wrong bracket size

2014-10-05 Thread Hiroaki MORIMOTO
Hello Bob,

musixlth is neither a standard nor well-known extension of MusiXTeX.
This was just my experimental private macro at first in 2002.  
I published it at my private site, because J|rgen Fleck posted 
a message titled `[TeX-music] Thicker staff lines' to the list 
on April 4, 2004.

After that, Simon Dreher and some people requested me to send 
the file;  thus the file has been updated several times.  

I myself think that musixlth is not so worth being registered 
to WIMA or CTAN; I think it's enough to be on my private site, 
because:
 * I wrote musixlth not so carefully. 
 * Appearance of line thickness is dependent on the DPI and the material 
  of the ink/toner of printer hardwares.  Just optimizing the MusiXTeX's 
  definition for both mainstreams of LASER's 600dpi and inkjet's 720dpi 
  will be the best solution.

Of course, I would like to respect your judgment whether it will be 
registered or not. 

Best regards,


Hiroaki MORIMOTO

Re: [Tex-music] wrong bracket size

2014-10-04 Thread Hiroaki MORIMOTO
Hi, 

I uploaded a new version of musixlth adapted to T.113-T.115.

  http://homepage1.nifty.com/kuuku/pub/musixtex/index-e.html

I found that previous musixlth (2007) has been incompatible 
to the bugfix concerning choir bracket between T.112 and T.113.
(T.112 or prior versions use always 20pt fonts for the first staff 
choir bracket brace, regardless of \smallmusicsize.)


Comments are welcome.

Re: [Tex-music] wrong bracket size

2014-09-22 Thread Hiroaki MORIMOTO
Hi Simon, Don, and everyone,

I confirmed this is a bug of my musixlth.tex.  

You can see 

  \hbox{\musixfont\fourt@@n}\hbox{\vrule\@height\g@h

at the line 104 in the latest musixlth.tex;  the vertical length 
of the bracket rule is determined with \g@h.  There must be 
a bug in the calculation of \g@h.
However, I worked about this file more than 6 years ago, 
so I have forgotten the detail of calculation process. 

You can view the effect of \g@h by replacing the line as:

  \hbox{\musixfont\fourt@@n}\hbox{\vrule\@height\z@


Please give me a time to think for a while, or may I expect 
someone will kindly fix the bug?

Best regards,

Out of curiosity about the effect of your line thickness adjustments, I 
cancelled all of them out and recompiled. I do see that you thickened the 
barlines and staff lines. But I also noticed that the bracket changed: without 
the adjustments, the vertical part got thicker (!?) and it also did not extend 
as high, now ending the same distance above the top line of the top vocal staff 
as it extends below the bottom line of the bottom staff. So maybe your problem 
with the bracket is somehow related to your adjustments of line thicknesses.

Re: [Tex-music] wrong bracket size

2014-09-21 Thread Don Simons
Simon, I compiled Froelich (!, after my recent trevails) and I'm not sure I see 
the problem. The curl at the bottom of the bracket starts about 1 \internote 
below the bottom staff, while the one at the top of it starts about 4 
\internote above the top line of the top vocal staff. Did you want that top 
curl to start closer to the top staff line? If it did, it would come very close 
to the top of the treble clef, and would be starting below the top of that 
clef. 

I'm attaching my .ps but it may not make it through.

This seems to be related to the issue discussed in Appendix D.2 of the
M-Tx manual.

As in that example, you may be able to kludge it with inline TeX.

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.

Interesting idea. Normally it seems to work. But I don't know how the
change in staff sizes is organized. Could there be a problem with the
context of the dimension \Interligne ?

I never got deep enough into musixtex to know how the positioning is
done and can be modified...

Thanks for the hints,
Simon

Re: [Tex-music] wrong bracket size

Do they look OK if you omit this line:

Space: -3 -2 -2 -2 -2 +3

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.

I won't be able to help any further in that case, apart from
quoting from mtx.tex:

% All TeX commands put directly into PMX files by M-Tx are defined below,
%   except the following:
% 1. \input mtx
% 2. code to achieve a multi-bar rest
% 3. User's own inline TeX
% 4. \mtxversion and \mtxdate are defined in prepmx itself
% 5. Utterly basic TeX commands like "\ " and "%"
% It is therefore possible for a TeXpert to tune the performance
%   of M-Tx without touching the preprocessor.

Thus, it is quite possible that the problem could be fixed by
changing some macros in mtx.tex.

Unfortunately, in the 11 years since I last revised mtx.tex, all
the necessary musixtex skills that I presumably must have
had at the time, have evaporated.

[Tex-music] wrong bracket size

2014-09-21 Thread Simon Dreher
Hi,

in the attached m-tx source, the bracket in front of the chorals staves
starts too high and is too large. Does anyone have an idea why and how
to fix it?

Best regards,
Simon
