Jean-Pierre-- I had to go through a lot of the same kind of logic when building PMX. It was so long ago that I don't remember very well at all the details, so I'm afraid I can't offer much help to you on doing it within MusiXTeX. But I do remember that part of it involved having PMX itself calculate \elemskip for each line by separately adding up scalable and fixed spaces in each line. Here's a PMX source for an approximation of your example, if you'd like to see the final result of PMX's internal logic.

Otherwise sometimes \mysk is to big, sometimes it is too small. How can I "sense" the value of \elemskip at each system and write a definition of \mysk under the form: mysk=my_constant+\elemskip*my_coeff? I hope I'll find the right values of my_constant and my_coeff by trial-and-error. :-) Bye Jean-Pierre Coulon ------------------------------- 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
