In Karsten's example, originally posted 1/19, it is true that PMX choked in bar 25. But bar 22 reaches 8 ledger lines above the treble staff; bar 23 goes 11 ledger lines above, and bar 24 goes 12 ledger lines above. PMX gamely deals with all this, not questioning for an instant whether someone inadvertantly went up an octave when he meant to go down, nor questioning where there is any organ in the world that has such high notes on its keyboard. But evidently by bar 25 PMX got exhausted and gave up. I think we should all give PMX a round of applause for hanging in there as long as it did! --Don Simons _______________________________________________ Tex-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
