Dear all
Setting a piece from Monteverdi I've the problem that meter is changing several times within a few bars from common time (four half notes) to "tempus perfectum diminutum" (six whole notes) and back. The tempo relation is about such that on half note of the former corresponds to three whole notes of the latter. Setting this straight forward I get either much to wide spacing in one or much to crowded in the other meter. Setting each meter change at a line break does not help, this produces some odd looking lines. Has anyone got an idea if and how how PMX could be convinced to change spacing within a running line?
As I see it there are 2 aspects of this questions:
1. Adding "local spacing" facilities to PMX would no doubt be a major improvement
2. IMHO a modern edition of music like the above described should use reduced note values combined with "metronomic equations". Whole notes tend to give false tempo associations to modern musicians.
