Dieter-- I downloaded the XML for the Mahler "Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen:..." from the web site you referenced. xml2pmx processed it OK, but the pmx file had various errors involving the pickup bar at the beginning, dynamic mark commands coming before any notes in a bar, and possible a few others. Best if you download the xml yourself and work through it.
Regarding the pickup bar, instead of using PMX's pickup facilities, you may want to consider putting the pickup into a separate bar, then changing the meter at the first full bar. For example with a quarter note pickup to a whole note in 4/4, instead of 1 1 4 4 4 4 1 0 ... g44 c0 / you could do 1 1 1 4 4 4 0 0 ... g44 / m4400 c05 / If you ever were to activate new movements in xml2pmx, you'd find that the PMX pickup mechanism doesn't work at the start of a new movement, but the scheme I just described is a viable alternative, naturally using the "m" command to set the initial meter in the new movement, just as you normally would to set any meter at the start of a new movement. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Dieter > Sent: Friday, July 03, 2015 7:21 AM > To: tex-music@tug.org > Subject: Re: [Tex-music] XML2PMX is ready for testing > > Hi Dirk, > > right now we are in beta test.
