Hi Don,
thanks for your testing effort. I will look into this ASAP, but not next
week.
I know the problem with pick ups. The treatment of pickups is not yet
automatic in XML2PMX.
Furthermore, when I have a pickup e.g. of one quarter alone in the first
PMX input block,
(marked like "1 1 4 4 4 4 1 0")
then PMX seems to think that the remaining measures are also 1/4.
So in this case I have always put a blind meter change before the first
full measure.
I did not know, that I can have an arbitrary pickup without announcing
it in advance,
when I add a blind meter change.
Regards,
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.

Hi Dirk,
right now we are in beta test. I want my tool to get a bit of mileage (and
further improve it) before I release it.
Under <obe...@lists.inf.ethz.ch> is a very active Oberon community
targeting Unix as well as micro controllers.
I am sure, with their support I will find a solution for the Unix version
of
XML2PMX.
Please test it! You find MusicXML-sources e.g. under: <
http://www.musicxml.com/music-in-musicxml/example-set/>
The following pieces (and a few more) have been tested:
- Schubert: Ave Maria (Ellen’s Gesang III), D. 839
- Beethoven: An die ferne Geliebte, Op. 98
Regards Dieter

The program is written in Oberon and I don't think there's an Oberon
compiler for Linux. Dieter is investigating Oberon-to-C compilers. In
the meantime, I suggest installing VirtualBox on your Linux system
and installing a guest Windows system. Or, it may run under WINE.
Unless I missed something, Dieter has not actually released the
XML2PMX source code, so speculation about Oberon compilers is
unproductive at this stage.
