<title>PMX beta vs 2.5</title>

<h2>Changes from PMX 2.5 to the Latest Beta (2.619), 5 September 2012</h2>
<p>2.501 <strong>(Note: new scor2prt)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: initialize index in PMX subroutine putorn to eliminate subscript
error detected in some compilers</li>
<li>Bugfix in <strong>scor2prt</strong>: Ignore special treatment of special
symbols if they appear between double quotes.</li>
<li>Tweak: move end of first part of line-break ties slightly to the right.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.502 <strong>(Note: new pmx.tex)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The height of a figured bass vertical stack can now be adjusted upward by
an integral number of \internote by appending "+" and the number. Recall that
it can already be moved downward 4\internote by prepending "_" (underscore). The
two options can be combined to provide full control over the vertical position.</li>
<li>Ties can now be represented with braces "{" before a note and "}" after. Both are
equivalent to "t" after the note. (Thanks to Dirk Laurie).</li>
<li>In <strong>pmx.tex</strong> all the commands of the form
\font\...=\fontid sy1000 have been changed to \font\...=cmsy10 (Thanks to
Olivier Vogel).</li>
</ul>
<p>2.503</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable arpeggio left shift with ?-[x]</li>
<li>Allow musicsize of 24 and 29.</li>
<li>Bugfix: Fix bug introduced in 2.415 which caused error in printing replacement
number in xtup.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.504</p>
<ul>
<li>Gap between normal grace and main note: X[x] as option to the G command,
where x is the gap size in notehead widths.</li>
<li>Bugfix: og (segno) now works OK when nv .ne. noinst.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.505</p>
<ul>
<li>A new global option AK activates special rules for vertical positioning
of rests in two-voice staves. By way of background, without the new option,
rests in two-voice staves have default positions based on
a simple rule that is not context-sensitive: those
in the lower voice (the one before "//") are 4\internote below their
single-voice default positions, and those in the upper line are 2\internote
above the single-voice default. The new option invokes a set of
context-sensitive rules to set the default position. The baseline rule is to
align the rest in a horizontal line with the next following note in the same
bar. If there is no following note in the bar, then it is aligned with the
next prior note. If there are simulataneous rests in both voices, the old
rule is applied. When the AK option is in force, it only affects places
where there are two voices in a staff. It may be toggled on and off at the
beginning of any input block, using
just AK. When the option is in effect, any user-defined tweaks on the height
of a rest will supersede the option for that particular rest, i.e., the tweak
will be applied relative to the single-voice default position.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.506</p>
<ul>
<li>Fixes a bug in AK. Simultaneous, equal-duration rests will be positioned
according to the default rules.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.507</p>
<ul>
<li>Enhancement to global option AK for vertical positioning of rests in
two-voice staves (see version 2.505): The option L ("look left") in a rest will cause the
vertical position of that rest to be based on the preceding note, rather than the
following one as is the default when AK has been issued </li>
<li>Partial bugfix: In unbeamed xtuplets, the length of the bracket and position of
the number are now adjusted to account for any inserted hardspaces.</li>
<li>Bugfix: unbeamed xtups with two flags are now allowed.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.508</p>
<ul>
<li>Allow grace notes in xtuplets.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.509</p>
<ul>
<li>Correct small bug in arpeggio left-shifting (it got confused when there
was more than one voice on a staff).</li>
</ul>
<p>2.510</p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: Correct omission of character variable declarations in new subroutine getgrace
introduced in 2.508.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.511 <strong>(Note: new scor2prt named s2p2511.exe)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: Correct error in horizontal spacing introduced in 2.507.</li>
<li>Experiment: Remove prohibition against tempo changes in MIDI macros.</li>
<li>Bugfix in <strong>scor2prt</strong>: Make it work right when "R" command occurs at end of
input block and "/" is on next line (as produced by M-Tx).</li>
</ul>
<p>2.512</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable multiplicity down-up "][" within xtuplet</li>
</ul>
<p>2.513</p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: If there is more than one rest at start of a beamed xtuplet marked as a forced
beam, beam height and slope tweaks are now properly handled.</li>
<li>Bugfix: If an xtuplet with multiplicity 2 or 3 starts with a rest, the rest is now printed
correctly.</li>
<li>Bugfix: Unbeamed xtuplets (with option 'a' on first note) with multiplicity 2 or 3 are now printed correctly.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.514</p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: Correct horizontal spacing when after-grace is immediately followed by
normal grace.</li>
<li>Bugfix: Correct transpose register when it has been changed in a single
after-grace.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.515</p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: Correct error in automatic forced beams. Before the fix, if the
beam did not start an integral number of beam durations from the start of
the bar, incorrect results would occur.
<li>Bugfix: Properly center fermata over centered whole-bar rest. </li>
</ul>
<p>2.516 <strong>(Note: new pmx.tex)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Allow figures in voice #2.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.517</p>
<ul>
<li>Allow figures in two voices, voice 1 and any other one.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.518</p>
<ul>
<li>Bug fixes in 2-voice figures.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.519</p>
<ul>
<li>Fix bug that prevented \sk from being output, misaligning some voices.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.520</p>
<ul>
<li>New feature: special characters 2+, 4+, 5+, 6+, 9+ for figured bass. In the PMX
string for any figure, follow the number by 's'. This uses the font cmrj from the
new package figbas. You must install this font in your TeX setup for this to work.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.521</p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: Font definition syntax corrected so no extra space is introduced.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.602 <strong>(Note: new pmx.tex; requires eTeX)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Allow 24 voices, beams, slurs. Require etex.</li>
<li>Include comment about doubling size of internal buffer to 131072, requiring gfortran for Windows to compile.</li>
<li>Correct slur indexing in linebreakslurs.</li>
<li>Account for comment lines in line count for error messages</li>
</ul>
<p>2.603 <strong>(Note: new scor2prt)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>In getpmxmod.for, decrease nline by 2 to fix locating errors
following reading in an include file.
<li>Add some error messages in g1etset.for setup data
</ul>
<p>2.610</p>
<ul>
<li>Instrument-wise transposition: Ki[instrument #][+/-][trans amt.][+/-][new key].
For more than one instrument, may immediately repeat everything after "K". Must
either be at start of score (right after setup), or if later, must be preceded
by normal (full score) key
change command K+0[+/-][new key]. Must be used with relative accidentals ("Ar").
Part(s) to be transposed must be entered in concert key, and will appear transposed
in the score. MIDI behavior not yet
tested. Has not yet been integrated into scor2prt, so for now
if you want to make parts, only use Ki... as score-only (on line after "%%") and/or
instrument only (on same line after %[Instrument #]).
</ul>
<p>2.613</p>
<ul>
<li>Set error trap if "D" is entered before any notes.</li>
<li>Enhance "AS" to allow spacing adjustments tailored for either smallsize or
tinysize. As before, "AS" must be followed by nv characters, but now they
may be "0" for normal, "-" or "s" for small, or "t" for tiny. Still must
set sizes of instruments with inline TeX.</li>
<li>Bugfix: Fixed broken "K-..." in 2.610.
</ul>
<p>2.614</p>
<ul>
<li>Bugfix: revise raised dotted rests by separately raising rest and dot.
</ul>
<p>2.615 <strong>(Note: new scor2prt)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Command "AS", described above under 2.163, now also causes staff sizes to change
(in score only, not parts), so inline TeX is no longer needed to change sizes of
selected staves.</li>
<li>Scor2prt transfers partwise transposition commands Ki... (see 2.610 above)
into parts. </li>
</ul>
<p>2.616</p>
<ul>
<li>"Feature" added: Hairpin dynamics now may span input blocks.</li>
</ul>
<p>2.617</p>
<ul>
<li>Repaired several obscure bugs related to platform and compiler dependencies;
see pmxab.for for details.
</li>
</ul>
<p>2.618</p>
<ul>
<li>For letter and a4 paper respectively, commands "Acl" and "Ac4" set horizontal
and vertical sizes and offsets that center the page with no further adjustments
required in dvips. </li>
</ul>
<p>2.619 <strong>(Note: new pmx.tex)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Several changes at movement breaks to improve compatibility with M-Tx
and musixlyr.</li>
</ul>
