Christian wins the Sherlock Holmes award for detective work on this case.
It wouldn't be that much work for me to put in a user-selected switch to
suppress the automatic height adjustment (I'd only have to bypass the "AHA"
block.) Is it worth the trouble (of generating a whole new PMX version)?
What would be more difficult is making the bar numbering a lot more
flexible. But all along I figured if people didn't like the default they
could fix it with inline TeX.
However, if you only want to alter the position of the bar number on a
one-time basis, there is an undocumented macro in pmx.tex called \bnrs ("bar
number raise & shift"). It has two arguments, the amount to raise it (in
\internote) and the amount to shift if horizontally (in notehead widths).
Example of use:
==============================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
1 4 20 0
t
.\
w3i
c86 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c /
cs86 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c \bnrs0{-2}\ c /
cs86 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c /
cs86 c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c /
===============================
This shifts the 3rd system's bar number to left. But the same issue applies
as with the baseline behavior: some of the redefinitions I used here could
confuse or get confused by other redefinitions that a user might try.
