@Don: You were right. I used the new "pmx.tex" and the old "pmxab.exe". I had already the 2.7 version on MikTex, but due to a wrong path, I was using the older version. @Dirk: The notes part of Telemann has been generated completely and automatically by my little program. The control block before the notes was reused and adapted from some earlier work. Therefore the erroneous pointer to "In the mood". I will also make an effort on the control block.

In order to finish my prototype and make it available for test, I have to sort out a few more things:
(1) Volta (<ending> in terms of MusicXML)
(2) "h", "l" and D"xxxx", Df etc. (<directions> and <words> in terms of MusicXML) (3) Then I am not sure, whether my implementation of tuplets is robust enough. Certainly it is not complete, but triplets work. (4) Certain ornaments (like <staccatissimo> occurring in Telemann) I cannot reproduce. I approximated it with "o^". (5) Then I have to sort out more complicated combinations of parts (=instruments), staves and voices. MusicXML goes from top to bottom, unlike PMX.

Meanwhile, when you are interested in testing "XML2PMX", you should get hold of an Oberon Installation for Windows at: ftp://ftp.ethoberon.ethz.ch/Oberon/System3/Win95NT/PlugIn/ and make yourself a bit familiar with it. Oberon is an extremely powerful language and comes with a well integrated development system. I could not do the job with any other language. But this may be due to my lack of formal education in computer science, not uncommon in my generation.

When you are interested in the test, please let me know. I would rather send the stuff directly to the interested parties and not to the whole mailing list.

Regards,
Dieter

I generated this wonderful PMX-file (Telemann Fantasie for Flute a major)
out of MusicXML.
By hand or using some software?

In the latter case, how did "In the Mood" get into the PMX file?
