For the last 3 weeks I've been struggling with revising PMX to insert blank
gaps either in the middle or at the end of a line. I do see ways to cover
most possible cases in MusiXTeX, but it's proving really tricky to build
them all into PMX. Different handling is needed for gaps in the middle or
end of a line; in the top, middle, or bottom system on a page; whether it's
the line before a new movement or not; and whether it's the very last line
of the whole piece or not. 

 

Before going much further, I'd like to ask list members to let me know about
any real world situations they've encountered requiring such gaps, and even
post examples if possible. I can think of several definite categories:

 

1. A short coda following a gap in the last line of a movement.

 

2. A last line of a movement, either the tail end of the body of the
movement or a coda, starting at the beginning of the line but not going all
the way to the end.

 

But I want to be sure not to neglect any other useful cases, so could people
please suggest any other real-world uses of gaps?

 

Thanks in advance,
