Bravo to Olivier for having worked out and documented a way to solve this WITHOUT RECOMPILING PMX.
Contrary to Cornelius statement in section D1 of his tutorial, Im afraid its incorrect that the number of voices per staff is a soft limit (his terminology, not mine) changeable simply by changing a parameter and recompiling PMX. I can guess how the confusion arose: In my PMX manual, section 5.1, I list two types of limits, those that a user can control and those not under immediate user control. I tried to clarify the first type by stating that The user can control the number of these items, but cannot control the limit on the maximum number of them. Number of voices per staff was of the first type. I never said anything about how to change the limits. But Cornelius went further, re-Christening the first type as soft, changeable as he stated, and the second as hard, changeable only by reprogramming. Im afraid thats simply not correct, and that was never the distinction I intended. In fact, most of the limits in both groups could be changed by changing a parameter or dimension and recompiling, but in particular the maximum number of voices per staff definitely cannot be changed that way. --Don Simons From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Olivier Vogel Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 3:58 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] PMX: more than 2 voices in a staff Hi Dieter, Your problem is solved here: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmxtricks/tricks.html Olivier 2013/8/31 Dieter <d.gloet...@web.de> Hi everybody, I have read in Cornelius Noack's PMX guide that I could relax the limit of 2 voices per staff by modifying and recompling the FORTRAN Code of "PMXAB". Where would I find the place and which compiler or other tools do you recommend on a Windows 7 PC? Has anybody ever tried?
