If you look at the TeX that PMX produces for a grace, you'll see that it manually skips all the spaces, and then skips back at the end. When you make up your own macro for the grace starting from this, you can change the hard-wired offsets to whatever you want, provided they still all add up to zero. By getting your spacing that way, you don't have to use \roffset at all.

For one thing, you can't enter inline TeX in the middle of a PMX grace. For this and other reasons you'll probably need to use some brute strength in-line TeX, very likely just manually setting the entire grace, and maybe putting in some extra space for the entire grace using X in PMX. To get started, get the TeX commands for the unaltered grace. Make that whole string of stuff a new macro defined as type-2 inline TeX. Remove the PMX grace command. Convert all pitches in the macro to numbers. Then stick in some \roffset commands where needed. To shift the FIRST note, you have to shift both the \ib.. and the \zqb.., for an intermediate note just the \zqb, and for the last note of the grace, the \tb.. and the \zqb. As I said, do this all in a macro defined as type 2 inline TeX. That's because it'll probably be too long to squeeze on a single line, so you can't do it directly as inline at the point of action. After defining it as a macro, then issue the macro as type 1 inline in PMX at the point of action right before the main note. Make sure the macro doesn't add or subtract any horizontal space. Now you see why I'm not volunteering to build this into PMX. It can get very complicated, and there's just not much call for this capability...you're the first one who's ever asked about it. --Don Simons -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jill-Jênn VIE Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2007 11:52 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: [TeX-Music] Shift grace notes Hello, I read in pmxccn.pdf you were able to shift notes with e or r. But how to do the same thing with grace notes? I get : ERROR in line 137, bar 72 Illegal character after note name in grace a44x3 g f \arpeggio L{5}\ f2- zg zc ze G4sm2d+r e f a d4 / Thanks, -- Jill-Jênn http://mickay.jill.free.fr/score/
