[TeX-music] pmx running at OpenSuSE Linux

Hello, I want to try noteedit and PMX at Linux. I have some experience with PMX at Windows, but I hoped that it should be possible to run it at my Linux system. I am using a OpenSuSE Linux 10.0 RC1 with tetex and musixtex installed. But there is no preconfigured PMX. I downloaded pmx_2.5.10.orig

[TeX-music] mior problem with Command AN

The N option of the A command allows to define the name of part file. This works for part 1-9. But I found no way to specify this for part 10 and 11: AN9 "parts\Harp8" - is ok AN10 "parts\Harp9" - is ignored ANa "parts\Harp9" - is ignored too. Scor2prt evaluates a hex number after the %, so I tr

[TeX-music] Instrument names in scores

Hello, for my large 11 instruments / 12 pages score I would asked to add an abbreviated instrument name at each page. This makes sense with so many systems. I think I should find this in the manual. But I read the musixtex and pmx docs and found no hint. I also downloaded the GMX ISO image and sea

RE: [TeX-music] More than 12 lines of music at once

Many thank to all who help me with my multi voice project. As a conclusion I must say, the limitation to 12 voices gave a bunch of additional work, but PMX / MusixTeX gives my a nice score. I am convinced our conductor will like it. There are some problems left. I will try to solve it by myself.

Andre, thanks for this solution. Don't care if you are proude, it works. I have remove the transpose and put the other octaves insinde. This blows up the PMX source a bit less. While juggling around with inline TeX I have further strange results. The octave runs away. I have "fixed" this with ot

RE: [TeX-music] More than 12 lines of music at once

I fear I didn't sent the most complicated example of two voices that must be coded with inline TeX. I have a problem with beamed notes. I was fighting two hours but am completely frustrated. The pitches of the PMX notes run away and I get surprising results. In short words: I didn't understand it.

RE: [TeX-music] More than 12 lines of music at once

Cronelius, many thanks for reply even if it's a bit dampening. I promised to our orchestra to write the notes in a week and I would like to continue this since I convinced that the other software systems are not as good as MusiXTeX/PMX. But now I am in a tight corner. I looked at the first sheet

[TeX-music] More than 12 lines of music at once

Hello I want to write a piece for ten harps and one rhythm instrument (triangle). All instruments except one harp has one staff. One harp has two staves. This gives 12 staves. So I am near to the limit "12 staves". But in some measures I have chords that should be played with both hands. These a

RE: [TeX-music] drums in PMX

Olivier, thanks for reply. Unfortunately this was only an excerpt. There are two lines with rhythm notation: 2nd voice and 11th voice (lowest line). So when I add the next line (3rd) it doesn't work anymore. Regards, Helge 3 3 4 4 0 6 0 0 0 6 20 0.1 Harfe 3 Harfe 2 Harfe 1 bbb ./ % erlaube D

[TeX-music] drums in PMX

Hello, PMX does not support drums. So I use a macro that will change the next note to have an X instead the normal head. Is there any way to define the notehead for more than one note (severeral measures)? It's annoying to repeat the \dr\ macro all the time. /Helge 2 2 4 4 0 6 0 0 0 6 20 0.1

Hello, to save space in a three staves partiture I want to exclude one staff for the first two pages. I read in PMX250.pdf that I can change the number of instruments but could not figure out, how it should work. The staff starting with d83 should be hidden until bar 16 inclusively. Another id

[TeX-music] Ways to a smaller layout

Hello PMX-experts, I have typeset a song that takes 8 pages. This is too much to place it at the music stand at once. But it doesn't make fun to turn over pages while playing harp. I need to compress the layout. The song has three voice. An excerpt could give good results. But I need to look at t

RE: [TeX-music] Coda and triplets in PMX

Andre, thanks for reply. The uptrio and uptuplet works fine. After inserting all the tuplets I ran out of the 128 char per input line limit. This causes weird dvi output or sometimes a freeze of pmxab. Is it possible, that a later version of pmxab detects long lines and aborts with an error mes

Don Simons, many thanks for the suggestion to use your program. I also found a lot of samples. After some problems I am now able to typeset a simple piece. But I want to learn more. I tried the barsant.pmx sample and was tempted to give up. I am not a tex specilist and don't understand !
