% version 1.23

% added \xtr and \ptr ornaments
% adjusted spacing of \tr
% corrected definition of \C@Inter for \nblines > 6 

% version 1.22

% bi and sc font definitions added; sl and tt definitions for musixsty moved 
% explicit font choices for \txtfont replaced by generic commands \smalltype\it etc.
% \pdlud \halfwidthbigwedge and \raise-height font-dependent
% \cbreath and \zbreath use \BIGtype rather than \BIGfont


% version 1.21

% RDT adjusted the offsets and/or vertical positions for some tremolos
% RDT moved \lastbarpos\lin@pos after calls to \Writ@meters 
%   to correct \centerbar positioning
% RDT copied the definition of \Hpause from musixlit.tex
% RDT introduced \Changeclefs, \cHpause and \centerHpause
% RDT replaced \smalltype\it by \txtfont in octave clef commands 
% RDT moved definitions of \txtfont into \comput@fonts
% RDT added support for piano-pedal bracket notation

% version 1.20

% RDT re-defined tremolo commands to allow for numerical pitches; 
%  use of \raise and \hbox suggested by Jean-Pierre Colon

% version 1.19:

% RDT corrected typos in the definition of \comput@fonts 
%   affecting ppff fonts for \Largemusicsize
% RDT introduced definitions for tremolo commands \trml, \trmu, etc. 
% RDT turned off lyrics for \metron and \metronequiv notes

% version 1.18:

% RDT added definitions of \raggedstoppiece and \slide from musixext.tex
% RDT increased the length of beam stems (adapted from J.-P. Coulon)

% version 1.17:

% RDT re-defined \txtfont for non-normal staff sizes
% RDT defined \tinyppff and \ppfftwelve, and re-defined \ppff to be staffsize dependent
% RDT introduced \tqqb \tqqh \tqqqb \tqqqh abbreviations 
%   and synonyms \tqql \tqqu \tqqql \tqqqu 
% RDT introduced ornaments \tr, \trt
% RDT re-defined \triolet to be consistent with musixdoc (prints \txt, not nec. 3)
% RDT introduced \cpause etc. and corrected definitions of \centerpause etc.
% RDT introduced double-dotted rests \qppp, \dspp, \qspp, etc.

% version 1.16:

% RDT corrected the definitions of \nnotes and \nnnotes

% HM corrected the definitions for cautionary small accidentals

% RDT added \check@staff ... \fi to \@qa h, \@mca, \hs, \qqs 
% so that \qa, \ca, \ha, etc. can be "hidden" using \setstaffs{n}{0}

% RDT incorporated tuplet.tex (approved by George Sicherman)
% and introduced \txtfont to allow changing size or style

% RDT introduced 
% \qqsk, a one-quarter notehead skip
% \tqu and \tql, synonyms for \tqh and \tqb
% \ztqu and \ztql, synonyms for \ztqh and \ztqb
% \hpp, \qpp, \dsp, \qsp, \hsp, \qqsp for pointed rests
% \nnotes, \nnnotes: 1.6 and 1.28 \elemskip spacing
% \zcn, \ccn, \lcn, synomyms for \zcharnote etc.

% RDT incorporated curly.tex (approved by Mthimkhulu Molekwa)

% RDT modernized the treatment of text fonts
% meterfonts must be bf, even if titling fonts are rm or sc
% added dynamic-mark  macros \sfz \sfzp

% version 1.15:

% moved out:
% - 1/128th beams        -> musixbm
% - triple pointed notes -> musixtri

% and shrinked the memory consumption

%++ickd 19Sep1997: with help of William P. Houser introduced dotted slurs.
%        Changes marked with +ickd for added single lines, -ickd for replaced
%++ickd  single lines, ++ickd...++ickd for added blocks

%++simick 04Dec2000: Don Simons and Werner Icking made some improvements
%          to volta-processing and centerbar processing the changes are
%          marked with +simick for added single lines, -simick for
%++simick  replaced lines and ++simick...++simick for added blocks

% Hiroaki, May2010, T.115: change register allocation codes into new ones 
% which enables >12 elements.  Search the string "version 1.15" for details.

\def\triolet{\xtuplet\txt}    % version 1.17 RDT

%
%   Following definitions based on tuplet.tex - conventional tuplet brackets for MusiXTeX.
%   Col. G. L. Sicherman.  Last revised 2003-05-17.
%
%   Added to musixtex.tex version 1.16 by RDT.
%
%   Standard MusiXTeX uses \uptrio and \downtrio to print tuplet brackets.
%   We define \uptuplet and \downtuplet, with the same arguments:
%
%       #1 : starting pitch
%       #2 : width of bracket, in (\noteskip)s
%       #3 : slope of bracket, in multiples of 1-1/8 degrees
%
%   The user defines the text to appear in the opening as \tuplettxt.
%   This is to avoid conflicting with the \txt in standard MusiXTeX.
%
%   Examples:
%
%       Draw a triplet bracket over the notes, starting at pitch "p",
%       1.25\noteskip wide, with a slope up of 3-3/8 degrees:
%
%           \uptuplet p{1.25}3
%
%       Draw a sextuplet bracket under the notes, starting at pitch "a",
%       2.5\noteskip wide, with a slope down of 4-1/2 degrees:
%
%           \def\tuplettxt{6\/\/}
%           \downtuplet{a}{2.5}{-4}
%
%   Send comments, complaints, and bouquets to the Colonel at
%   <colonel@monmouth.com>.
%

% Standard MusiXTeX prints a small "3" (or other number) within
% the bracket.  Here we print the "3" in an opening in the bracket,
% so we need not use a small font.
%
% The double italic correction compensates for centering the number
% on the bracket line.

\def\tuplettxt{3\/\/}

%%% The rest is adapted from standard MusixTeX.

%   This is muflex.tex version 1.00 , January 1993
%
%   Macro library for MusicTeX `flexiline' operations: MuFlex.
%   The idea is to set up a two pass system.
%   On the first pass, information about each bar is written to the file
%       jobname.mx1.
%   After the first pass, an external (non TeX) routine is run to
%   determine optimal values of the elemental spacing (\elemskip)
%   for each line, so as to properly fill each line, and to lead to
%   the piece filling an integral number of lines.
%   The relevant parameters are written onto the file
%       jobname.mx2.
%   On the second pass, the .mx2 file is read in, and the information
%   used as described above.
