PMX Version 1.3.6
2 April 1998
Don Simons (dsimons@logicon.com)
A production of Dr. Don's PC and Harpsichord Emporium
Welcome to the world of PMX, a preprocessor for MusiXTeX that produces
nearly professional-looking scores and parts with far less effort than would
be required using MusiXTeX alone.
All files necessary for the DOS version are contained in pmx136.zip. The full
instruction manual is in pmx134.tex (use LaTeX 2.09). There is also a
postscript image in case you have problems TeX'ing it.
ref134.tex is a summary of all the legal PMX "symbols". You should still
read the first few sections of the manual to get started.
Non-DOS users: You will either have to compile the FORTRAN source, or
see the manual for locations of other versions, or wait and other versions
may appear on ftp.gmd.de.
What's new since Version 1.3?
Up to 9 simultaneous slurs (user-assigned ID code 1-9 or A-Z
required after the first).
Slurs between any chord notes.
Tie-positioning option in slur commands ("st").
"(", ")" optional syntax for slurs.
Forced horizontal (zero-slope) beam ("[h ...")
Override default multiplicity of any beam ("[m(digit) ...")
Staff-junping beams ( "... ]j" , "[j ..." )
Double whole note (enter "9" as duration number)
Scale factor on default space between staves in a system
globally ("AI(factor)" ), one page only ("Ai(factor) )
New ornaments > , ^
Placeholder figure ("_") to force next one down a notch.
Editorial accidentals above note ("oes", "oef", "oen")
Global option to lower dots in lower voice of 2-voice staves ("Ad")
Many bug fixes, as usual. If your pet bug is not fixed, I apologize; please
remind me again.
