Thanks for the insight into the inner workings, Don. So the million dollar question is - is there also some way to insert a horizontal shift for situations where a harmonic progression takes place before there is another note to anchor it to? PMX is gracious in allowing the horizontal offset with "x", but what do you do when you have to rough it with inline TeX?

Since the need for an alternate line of figures arises so rarely, using the existing facilities with inline TeX is what I would recommend. Please let me add a few more remarks. The vertical position represented by the first parameter of \Figu is the distance down from a reference level. The reference level is set by \figdrop. PMX computes a new value of \figdrop for each system with figures, based on the lowest object in the whole system that could interfere with the figures. PMX then puts the top figure in every system at \Figu{0}{...}. This makes the tops of all the figures in each system line up. I'm explaining this because if you use \Figu manually, it will use whatever value of \figdrop is currently in effect. If you want to manually emplace figures in a staff other than the bottom one, there are two situations to consider: (1) If there are also PMX-emplaced figures in the bottom system, I suggest leaving \figdrop alone and adjusting the first \Figu parameter accordingly. (2) If there are no figures in the bottom staff, then you could set your own value of \figdrop, probably best done right before the first figure in the system. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:tex-music- >[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Diane Blaurock >Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 1:10 PM >To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' >Subject: Re: [TeX-Music] M-TX, figured bass > >" \Figu{0}{6}\ \Figu{4}{5}\ c8" prints the note "c" with a bass figure >of 6 >over 5. >"\Figu{-1}{\sharpfig}\ d8" prints the note "d" with a sharp. _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.daimi.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
