Can anyone explain why the following file, processed with PMX 2.614 causes
an underfull box warning and leaves too much space after the signatures in
the 3rd system (bar 17)? The syntax is exactly the same at the start of the
second system (bar 9), but there the space is OK. Could it be somehow
caused by the 4 small sharps in the signature of the clarinet part?
It seems "someone" (MusiXTeX or musixflx?) ignores the "smallness" of the
clarinet sharps, and adds the spacing appropriate to normal-size sharps.
I exagerated this effect by saying \setsign37 in the .TEX file produced by
PMXAB at bar 17.
Perharps there is something in common with this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tex-music@sunsite.dk/msg02015.html
Does your MusiXTeX version has this patch?
Off-topic: the engraving standard is to put a downwards stem to notes on the
3rd line, e.g. the 2nd Basso note at bar 17.
