I’m very close to releasing a new version of PMX reflecting various fixes requested by Andre and Christian over the last several weeks. Before finalizing, I’d like some opinions about how far to go with one of them. Christian has used some constructions like r4Fx3 b. With notes, this gives a dotted eighth followed by a sixteenth, horizontally spaced as if they were the first and third notes in a triplet. (It’s a very, very rare notation used by Bach, and no one else I know of). Christian pointed out that when starting with a rest, for consistency the rest should be dotted. I’ve worked out a way to get PMX to do that. The problem is that my band-aid coding is guaranteed to fail if you try to raise or lower the (now dotted) rest from the default, midstaff position. The problem occurs either if you try to raise it manually, or if PMX tries to do it internally as a result of the global AK option for keyboard rest positioning in 2-voice staves.
The question is whether I should expend the considerable additional programming effort needed to make this extremely rare construction work in the doubly rare case where the dotted rest would need to be raised or lowered. --Don
