Changes from PMX 2.4 to the Latest Beta (2.406), 13 October 2002
2.401
- Suboption for Type K postscript ties, activated by Apl, to (a) change
first part of a linebreak ties to have same shape as normal ties, and
(b) move start of second part of linebreak ties a little to the left.
- Bugfix: Enable arpeggios on chords in xtuplets.
2.402
- Automatic forced beam patterns. If the option ":" (colon) is included in
the starting symbol "[" for a forced beam, then henceforth beams of the same
length will be forced in that line of music, until stopped.
Stop them by either (a) inserting
a regular forced beam, or (b) coming to the end of the input block.
- The number of forced beams allowed is increased from 20 to 40 per line of
per input block. This includes both regular and the new automatic ones.
2.403
- Bugfix: Automatic termination of auto forced beam patterns at end of input
block.
2.404
- Allow slur or tie to end on rest, but not start on a rest. Default height
of ending is default height of start (before any automatic or user-
defined djustments). User may adjust height as normal from default.
2.406 (Note: new pmx.tex)
- Allow explicit double sharps and flats in chords.
- New option Aph to write \special{header=psslurs.pro} top of each page, so
dviselec will work OK.
- Bugfix in pmx.tex for system spacing equalization by Ae, to correct
behavior when top staff is smaller than others (was giving smaller space
after first system than others).
- Bugfix in line-break tie option Apl, to correct behavior when there
is more than one staff in an instrument.
- Internal change in storage, transparent to user: Use only first 4 bits
of mult for multiplicity+8, so rest can be used for other stuff.
- Bugfix: Move stemlength stuff in nacc(27-30) to mult(27-30) to remove
storage conflict with dot movement stuff.
