Can anyone come up with a cleaner way to shorten a single line…not necessarily the last one on the page…in PMX (without trial and error)? If so I may incorporate it into PMX.

Since you need to tailor the width of the white rectangle by trial and error, this would be tedious if you had to do it more than once or twice, but it does work, without requiring any changes to the basic page layout or staff widths. Let me know if you have any questions. --Don ================================== 1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0 1 2 20 0 t .\ \\input <file:///\\input> pstricks\ \\\def\gap{\ <file:///\\\def\gap%7b\> \\\psframe[linestyle=none,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=white](-17pt,-1pt)(100pt,21pt)}\ <file:///\\\psframe[linestyle=none,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=white](-17pt,-1pt)(100pt,21pt)%7d\> c44 d e f g a b c / L2 c44 d e f g a b c / RD \gap\ rb0 D"Hello"+8-2 Rz / ================================== > -----Original Message----- > From: Don Simons [mailto:dsim...@roadrunner.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2019 8:43 AM > To: 'Dieter' <d.gloet...@web.de <mailto:d.gloet...@web.de> > > Subject: RE: PMX with Comments at the end of a line > > Hi, Dieter-- > > I wondered why you were emailing me in German.
