A weird problem with mm title page macros

[Oliver Corff]

Dear All,

I came across another weird problem.

In my document, I have

.TL
My document title
.AF "¹ First Institute; ² Second Institute; ³ Third Institute"
.AU
John First¹
Bob Second²
Martha Third³
.AS
My abstract
.AE
.MT 4

Which produces

John First¹ Bob Second² Martha Third³

My document title (in boldface)

¹ First Institute; ² Second Institute; ³ Third Institute

Abstract

in the order of authors, title, firm, abstract

However, on inspection, 4.MT reveals an order of

.cov@print-title
.cov@print-authors
.cov@print-firm
.cov@print-abstract

I tried to play with 4.MT by copying and renaming it as 6.MT and calling
.MT 6, but then the result is as if I had no .MT call at all. Strange.

Best regards,

Oliver.
