Hallo Cornelius thanks for your help, it works fine.
The (ii) comment is great, I will used it, the answer of (i) is NO. I ask my wife (the composer) an she tell me: "The suite isn't written for playing prima vista (vom Blattspiel sagt man in Deutsch). I expect that an organ player have enough time to practise this suite at least 2 weeks, before he is able to play it. Very good manual and pedal technical skills are provided."

If you replace the first a1+ in that staff by a14, say, the error goes away. To understand this, it is useful to know what the 2 passes of pmx do: (1) pass 1 (formerly called "pmxa.exe") reads in the pmx source, does the syntax checking, and produces an intermediate file in which some of the pmx shorthand notation has been expanded, (2) pass 2 (formerly called "pmxb.exe"; the two passes were then appended to make 1 file, "pmxab.exe") then reads this as its input, and produces the .tex output file. The exceedingly many ledger lines produce an output line in pass 1 that is too long for the input "READ" command of pass 2, whence the error. Admittedly the error message isn't of much use here ... 2 comments: (i) Are you sure that is what you really want in your score ? Do you expext any organ player to be able to play these notes on sight-reading ?? If your answer to question one is YES, you should definitely consider the octaviation notation. How to do that is described in my PMX tutorial in the WIMA: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmxccn.pdf (ii) You commented out the line "\\input def\" in your pmx input file which seems to read in the definitions of the "\reg" and "\Reg", so these produced an extra error with me. It may be more convenient to use the brand-new facility for inputing that is now available in PMX version 2.416. You should definitely take a look at that!
