I've gone back and reminded myself what I did in my Pradas edition, which switches back and forth between BC+Soprano and BC+Soprano+Violin+Violin. It turns out it was beyond tricky. This was all done with one staff per instrument and one voice per staff, so it was flipping back and forth between 2 staves and four. I could not do it entirely from within M-Tx, because I couldn't figure out how to make M-Tx realize the number of staves had changed. Here's what I did: 1. In M-Tx, (a) input all 4-staff sections normally (b) To go from 4 to 2, use e.g. %%L7Mn212bt (c) input all 2-staff sections as 4 staves with rp for the top two and then the desired input for Soprano and BC in the 3rd and 4th. (d) To switch back from 2 to 4, use e.g. %%L10P3Mn41234bttt 2. Run prepmx. Now I could process this pmx all the way, but the resulting score will have an unwanted bar of rests every other bar in the 2-staff movements. So instead, 3. (and here's where it gets really ugly) use a special FORTRAN program I wrote to go through the prepmx output file, looking for and deleting every occurrence of rp | rp | 4. Process the resulting modified .pmx normally. So Hermann, if you want to pursue this path, and if you do FORTRAN, I'd be happy to send you my source and you could modify it to suit your needs. Or maybe write your own script to do this using whatever language you like. Or maybe delete the extra rp's by hand with a text editor. Otherwise (so far) sorry, but you're on your own. --Don _______________________________________________ tex-mu...@icking-music-archive.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://mailman.nfit.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music
