Just as an example of how complicated this general problem can get, can anyone (Andre?) figure out any way at all (even using inline TeX) to get the doubled beam in the second part of this to come out above the main beam rather than below?

But I’m about ready to give up on trying to get PMX to do the right stuff on the staff-jumper with 3 sixteenths down and 1 sixteenth + 1 eighth up. I’ve gotten part way there but I’m very worried that things I do would mess up other combinations … when you start changing the multiplicity AND the direction of the jump AND the exact location of the multiplicity change relative to the jump AND the number of jumps AND the number of multiplicity changes, there are so many possibilities I’d have a hard time sorting them all out and then testing them all. So I’m afraid for now you’ll just have to work out some inline TeX to replace the bad TeX commands with the right ones. --Don From: Don Simons [mailto:dsim...@roadrunner.com] Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2018 12:48 PM To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' <tex-music@tug.org <mailto:tex-music@tug.org> > Subject: RE: [Tex-music] staff crossing beams Andre, I think you know PMX better than I do! So it looks like all I have to do to fix the first problem is to get PMX to enter \tbbu1 rather than \rbbu2 before the last note of the first staff-jumper, and rely on the user to start it with [l+14 . I still haven’t sorted out the other problem. --Don From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Andre Van Ryckeghem Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2018 10:45 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive <tex-music@tug.org <mailto:tex-music@tug.org> > Subject: Re: [Tex-music] staff crossing beams Thanks Don, using [l+14 g1- cs ]j rb4 / changes the order of the beams Andre From: Don Simons Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2018 6:09 PM To: 'Werner Icking Music Archive' Subject: Re: [Tex-music] staff crossing beams Very challenging. Even if I were to fix PMX to generate the “proper” code, there’s a basic problem with the order of the multiple beams. Here’s a related example that does go through, but obviously you’d prefer to have the lower beam continue and the upper one stop at the last 1/16 note. I haven’t tried to work out the TeX code for that but I suspect it’ll be very tricky. --Don ============================== 2 2 3 8 3 8 0 0 1 1 20 0 bt .\ Abpe w5i [u g1- cs ]j rb4 / rb8 [ju g1+ g zb g8 ] // r4d / ============================= From: TeX-Music [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Andre Van Ryckeghem Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2018 6:57 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive <tex-music@tug.org <mailto:tex-music@tug.org> > Subject: [Tex-music] staff crossing beams Dear Don, dear all I still have a problem with staff crossing beams. In the 1st bar: [ju g1+ g8 zb ] does not show an 8th note for the ‘g8’ but a 16th. the 2nd bar seems ok if i remove the’g8’, but if i want a beam for [ e+ sf b s ] and then it goes wrong, see 3rd bar.
