I'm impressed that you kept them all around.
I don't. You may pick out any old pmx version from
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/
The arpeggio bug has been there ever since 2.507 (May 2005). It only
shows up when the arpeggio extends from one voice to another within a
single staff. There is no problem when it stays in one voice, or goes
from one staff to another. It was caused when I changed the call to
the routine that draws the symbol so that it used voice number
rather than staff number to index the starting and ending notes. The
logic in 2.506 and before checked whether the indices referred to the
same STAFF and assumed if they didn't, it was going from one staff to
another. Not changing anything within the subroutine, in 2.507, if
the start and end were in different VOICES, it applied the same
logic, and messed up if the voices were in the same staff. I suppose
it's not too surprising that no one had picked this up in 10 years. I
think I have it solved but am waiting to post the corrected version
until I see if there are more bug reports, and until I decide what to
do about the M-Tx multi-bar rest issue.
There was one other issue with the Humoresk file. The midi command
had two 'pi" entries after the sound change option "i" : It56ipipi.
The later PMX versions also choke on this because I changed the
syntax somewhere along the way to where each sound change option
refers to an INSTRUMENT rather than a staff. And Christian had called
for a single instrument with two staves. I don't think I want to make
any changes there...unlike the other problem it can be fixed simply
be deleting one of the "pi"s
I was aware of that - and agree about how to fix the problem
Happy New Year to all
