To all-- The real problem here--and a major stumbling block in my re-editing musixdoc--is trying to get a clear, overall picture of the relationships among all the "context-changing" options, and at the same time understanding all the details necessary to explain these commands in a manual. I feel strongly that there should be a section roughly corresponding to the current 2.15 "Changing score attributes," where everything necessary about defining and changing key signatures, meters, and clefs is explained. Here are the commands that I can find that should be included: \changecontext, \Changecontext, \zchangecontext, \changesignature, \generalsignature, \setsign, \setclef, \changeclefs, \zchangeclefs, \setmeter, \settrebleclefsymbol, \setaltoclefsymbol, \setbassclefsymbol, \resetclefsymbols, \setclefsymbol.
There are also \alaligne and \alapage which evidently have some of the same effects on key signatures, meter changes, and clef changes as \chengecontext etc, and also \pchangecontext and \pChangecontext, which are defined in musixtex.tex but are not even mentioned in musixdoc. If anyone would care to volunteer to try wring such a section, explaining all these commands in detail, their interactions, and where they are supposed to be used (i.e., inside or outside \notes..\en, inside or outside \startpiece...\stoppiece or \contpiece...\stoppiece), in a much more coherent and organized way than the random treatment they have in the current document, future musixtexers would be grateful. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andre > Van Ryckeghem > Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 7:25 AM > To: Typesetting music with TeX > Subject: Re: [TeX-music] musixtex - \changecontext > > > Thanks for helping, Jean-Pierre > > I learned with your change that taking other commands, the error vanish, > this let me think that there is a bug in a command. > > But introducing \zchangecontext causes a new bar, or at least the > space for > it. > > I don't know if the following doing is common, but this is what i wanted > (replacing > \generalsignature{-2}\changesignature\Changecontext% > by > \generalsignature{-2}\Changecontext% > gives the error in the followong line but in the line > \generalsignature{-3}\changesignature > there is no error ): > > ======================= > \input musixtex > \instrumentnumber2\setstaffs22% > \hsize 100mm \vsize 100mm > \setclef1{\bass}\generalsignature2% > \startpiece > \notes\qsk\qu K&\qsk\qu d|\qsk\qu e\en > % > % Is generalsignature forbidden here (there is a overfull hbox)? > %\generalsignature{-2}\Changecontext% > % > % With this line no overfulf hbox, > % but signatures are in the wrong place > \generalsignature{-2}\changesignature\Changecontext% > % > \notes\qu K&\qu d|\qu e\en% > \generalsignature{-3}\changesignature\setdoublebar\alaligne% > \notes\qu K&\qu d|\qu e\en% > \notes\qu K&\qu d|\qu e\en% > % > % Clefs > \mulooseness0\Stoppiece\eject\bye > =============== > > Andre > > _______________________________________________ > TeX-music mailing list > TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org > http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music > _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
