I'm not sure what you mean by "the latest musixtex manual." The last official version is T.113:
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/musixdoc.pdf That one, and several earlier ones originating from DT, all say "\Ioctfindown np starts a lower octave tranposition at pitch p (usually p<-2), and both extend until terminated with \toctfin." In my mind, that would qualify as "documentation," but unfortunately it's incorrect, at least if n is different from 0, because as I mentioned in a recent post, \toctfin is shorthand for \Toctfin0 . There's an unofficial, extensively revised version of the manual at http://icking-music-archive.org/software/mxdoc110d.pdf . It's true that it doesn't mention \toctfin. It does say "...Both extend until terminated with \Toctfin ." That's correct but incomplete, because \Toctfin requires an argument, and I failed to mention that in the revision. I'll try to remember to correct these matters when this becomes official as musixdoc version T.114. What I'm waiting for before making that happen is a revision of the index, which a certain other individual volunteered to do. (Personally, I have no need for an index, as text searching through the pdf is completely adequate for my uses, and that's why I did not spend the considerable effort necessary to revise the index. However, several others believed rather strongly that there was value in having a hyperlinked index at the end of the pdf.) --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andre > Van Ryckeghem > Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 2:34 AM > To: Werner Icking Music Archive > Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] Error in octaviations, in the PMX manual ? > > > Sorry, i forgot the backskip > Change '\sk\Toctfin1\ by '\sk\Toctfin1\ bsk\ > > For the 2nd problem, there you have a point: > \toctfin is not documented in the latest musixtex manual. > '\ioctfinup' is the same as '\Ioctfunup0' > and '\toctfin' is the same as '\Toctfin0' > > here is an example: > > =========== > 1 1 1 4 1 4 0 0 > 0 1 20 0 > > t > ./ > w100m > \ioctfinup{10}\ e84a \toctfin\ e / > ====== > > Andre > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Andre Van Ryckeghem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Werner Icking Music Archive" <tex-music@icking-music-archive.org> > Sent: Monday, July 02, 2007 7:58 AM > Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] Error in octaviations, in the PMX manual ? > > > I don't know if ther came an answer on this problem. > > I don't think it is an error in PMX (but rather a feature?) > > There can not be a (musix)tex-command as last item in a block, > > So 'r2 \Toctfin1\' must be replaced by '\sk\Toctfin1\ r2' > > I f there are more staves in a system, then it is possible you > need more \sk > (it syncs with the shortest notes) > > Andre > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jill-Jênn VIE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <tex-music@icking-music-archive.org> > Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2007 5:36 PM > Subject: [TeX-Music] Error in octaviations, in the PMX manual ? > > > Hello, > > I would like to know why : > > \\def\octnumber{8$^{va}$}\ > d8d5 ad+ r ed+ bd g | ed zg fd za cd- ze cd g4 | r4d a8d gd a8 b | > g8d zb cd ed ze+ bd- zb+ a4- za+ / > \Ioctfinup1t\ e15 f c+ b8d e1- f c+ ( b4dd | b2 ) r2 | e1- f c+ b8d > e1- f c+ ( b4dd | b2 ) r2 \Toctfin1\ / > > doesn't work, while : > > \\def\octnumber{8$^{va}$}\ > d8d5 ad+ r ed+ bd g | ed zg fd za cd- ze cd g4 | r4d a8d gd a8 b | > g8d zb cd ed ze+ bd- zb+ a4- za+ / > \Ioctfinup1t\ e15 f c+ b8d e1- f c+ ( b4dd | b2 ) r2 | e1- f c+ b8d > e1- f c+ ( b4dd \Toctfin1\ | b2 ) r2 / > > works. > > And I'd just like to point out that when you put "\toctfin1" instead > of "\Toctfin1", it doesn't work. > > So there is a mistake in the PMX manual (pmxccn.pdf), isn't it ? > > Thanks by advance :) > > -- > Jill-Jênn > http://mickay.jill.free.fr/score/ > > > > _______________________________________________ > TeX-music mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music > > _______________________________________________ > TeX-music mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music > > _______________________________________________ > TeX-music mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music > _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
