In looking at Bernhard Lang's setting of M. Rossi's "Toccata Settima" (a great piece I'm trying to learn on my Italian harpsichord), in the on screen view of the pdf I noticed various horizontal misalignments between stems and noteheads, and between stems and beams. They are NOT due to any typesetting errors, but somehow come from one or more of the processing steps tex (or etex), dvips, postscript viewing, PDF generation, PDF viewing. They aren't nearly as obvious in the printed page but at least some of the stem-beam misalignments can still be seen. I see similar but not identical things when I process the .pmx file with my own defaults.
I recall that years ago someone looked into this issue and I think they produced some software that addressed it, but I can't find any record of it. It may have been one of our Japanese contributors. Does anyone remember that or have any other thoughts about this? I could provide some specific examples but I think anyone can get the idea by just looking at the posted PDF http://www.icking-music-archive.org/scores/rossi/toccata-settima.pdf, e.g., first group of 16ths in bar 5 bass clef. --Don Simons From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Sebastian Canagaratna Sent: Friday, November 11, 2011 4:44 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] New PMX beta 2.616 to fix long hairpin problem Thanks so much Don.

The corrects the issue recently raised by Sebastian Canagaratna and Dirk Laurie, and will make life easier for M-Tx users since M-Tx puts every bar into a separate input block. --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
