Now the problem:
Dear Bernhard, I had the same problem when I made the score for the BWV1052. For the typesetting it was necessary to cut movement 1 and 3 in five pmx-files each, which were separately PMXed and SCOR2PRTed, the resulting TeX files fused by an editor macro even correcting automatically the % Bar count nrs. I did not find it so difficult. I would strongly discourage using pasting by hand, it is too tedious and error-prone. If your editor has good macro facilities, everything goes more or less automatically. A perl file or a script may do it as well. By the way: the tex file does not seem to have any length restriction. This comes from shipping out completed pages. This may look mor complicated, but if you considering the time saving using pmx, it is really still an enormous bargain.
