Thank you, but one small concern. If I omit second argument altoghether, that is \author{Bla-bla} is it possible to have skip? (Now skip doesn't work until I provide empty second parenthesizes) Regards, Vyatcheslav
\author{Bla-bla}{}
\define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}{\hfill\tx bpm=#2\doifnothing{#2} {\hskip1cm}}}
