I've just uploaded a new PMX beta to http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmx2622.zip
There is one new option in the "K" command: For key changes after the start of a piece, "Kn..." will suppress the printed naturals when changing from flat- to sharp-key and vice-versa. But the main reason for this release is that it has numerous behind-the-scenes tweaks intended to make all kinds of transpositions work, and in particular to make a requested MIDI file come out right. This has been rather tricky to work out owing to the many possibilities for transposition: 1. Transpose everything by the same amount: printed score, parts, and MIDI; 2. Some transposing instruments entered in concert key but printed transposed in the score; 3. Some transposing instruments entered transposed and printed transposed in the score; 4. All parts entered in concert key and printed in concert key in score, but some parts printed transposed in parts created by scor2prt. In the last three cases the MIDI will come out in concert key. Things are further complicated if there's a key change midway through a piece. I've written a tutorial with an example file for each of the four cases listed above, including a later key change, located here: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/TranspositionInPMX.pdf This is also included in pmx2622.zip and will later be incorporated into the PMX manual. I would VERY much appreciate people experimenting with the kinds of situations explained in the tutorial, and any other transposition/key-change situations you can think of, and report back on the mailing list with bug reports, questions, errors in the tutorial, or suggestions. --Don Simons ------------------------------- 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
