I don't think anyone claimed there were any more detailed instructions in pmx260. But Cornelius is right in that pmxccn does contain the same statement I referred to. As an aside, when looking in pmxccn, I noticed Cornelius' example of a staff-jumping beam that spanned a bar line, and it made me wonder if the same mechanism would work in a single staff. In other words, despite the programmer's laziness, is there a back-door way to get a beam across a bar line? Turns out the answer is yes (Eureka!): ==================================== 1 1 2 4 2 4 0 0 1 1 20 0 t .\ g44 [ g1 g g g ]j | [jl g1 g g g ] g4 / ===================================== And incidentally, notice that I did have to override the up-downness of the 2nd segment to get the horizontal alignment right. More testing might be needed to ensure that if there are other ordinary beams hanging around, the numbering doesn't get messed up. --Don Simons ------------------------------- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
