Dieter-- We can share the blame for this one. The option Aa must be followed by a decimal number giving the new \afterruleskip (spacing before the first note in a bar) in \elemskips. The next character in your file is not a digit or decimal point, but I neglected to trap this error. Will fix in the next release.
Out of curiosity, what don't you like about the default \afterruleskip? Also out of curiosity, how did you manage to input so much error-free stuff without being able to process it? Comment: To my eye it comes out crowded horizontally. I'd go with 18 systems on 3 (letter-size) pages, and set AI.9 to reduce \interstaff and increase vertical space between staves. Might be a little different for a4 paper. --Don Simons >-----Original Message----- >From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Dieter >Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 5:24 AM >To: Werner Icking Music Archive >Subject: [Tex-music] funny error with PMX > >Hi Don, > >I have strange problem in running a PMX-file which has been perfectly >running some years ago. >When I try to run it it says: > >============================================================ >Opening minimood.pmx > > Starting first PMX pass >forrtl: severe (64): input conversion error, unit -5, file Internal >Formatted Re >ad > >D:\MUSIX\mood>if errorlevel 1 goto pmxerr >============================================================= >and later it says: >==================================================== >This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (MiKTeX 2.9) >entering extended mode >!
