... I've run into a problem with a string argument to the PMX dynamics command D"bla bla".
The string in question is "dolce sempre e col pedale" which is applied on a chord in the right hand piano staff.
Well that's the problem. PMX was written for harpsichords, and they don't have pedals :-)
All seriousness aside, the limit is now 24 characters. How big do you want me to make it?

I vote for Dirk's proposal:-) For now I use the suggested macro work-around.
Staff jumping beams:
In #4 of the Laub songs, 'Han lęser sedlen' (just published) there are 2 beam groups across bar lines in bar 24-25. I've fooled M-Tx/PMD to do this by merging these bars into one 'technical' 4/4 bar and then inserting barlines 'by hand' (using a musixtex trick contributed by Olivier Vogel several months ago, see accompanying source file). However, I haven't succeeded in, _on PMX level_, to get the lower of these beam groups to jump to the left hand staff with the final note only. PMX doesn't like a jumping beam group consisting of a single note! I can live with the current typesetting solution but would like to improve it with the staff jumping feature. I'll be able to achieve that by means of inline musixtex. But I'd prefer a PMX level solution. In other words I (probably) ask for a new PMX feature.
