MusiXTeX is a set of TeX macros to typeset polyphonic, orchestral or
polyphonic music.
If you are not familiar with TeX at all I would recommend to find another
software package to do musical typesetting. Setting up TeX and MusiXTeX
on your machine and mastering it is an awesome job which gobbles up
a lot of your time and disk space. But, once you master it...
This is a beta-Test Version and as long it is you can depend on that
some features will be added, some commands will be removed, some commands
will be renamed, ... , means, many things will change. So don't code
ten pages and say: ``Don't change this, because I've coded
thousands of pages''. We use a new concept and not all things are
thought until end or very well, so test it, enjoy it or leave it behind.
MusiXTeX is documented in /usr/local/lib/texmf/documentation/musixtex.tex. This
file must be processed with LaTeX and musixflx:
latex musixdoc
musixflx musixdoc
latex musixdoc
makeindex musixdoc.idx
latex musixdoc
makeindex musixdoc.idx
latex musixdoc
A few examples are provided in the directory
/usr/local/lib/texmf/documentation/musixtex.examples
for instance, to typeset the file 'traeumer.tex' type:
musixtex traeumer
musixflx traeumer
musixtex traeumer
