i was out of the office yesterday, longer than i expected (train failure that made national news!), and wasn't able to report the following effusion from the daemon: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: musixtex > Author's name: Bob Tennent > Author's email: rdt at cs.queensu.ca > Location on CTAN: macros > Summary description: Sophisticated music typesetting using TeX > License type: gpl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The musixflx components have been updated to incorporate several minor > bug fixes and improvements from TeXLive and teTeX. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thanks for the upload; i have installed the new version and updated the catalogue repository (about 0130 this morning). > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/musixtex.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros since my installation seems to have happened after the catalogue regeneration run, the (minutely) updated catalogue entry won't appear on the web until some time overnight tonight.

MusiX – Sophisticated music typesetting

MusiX provides a set of macros, based on the earlier Music, for typesetting music with . To produce optimal spacing, MusiX is a three-pass system: etex, musixflx, and etex again. (Musixflx is a lua script that is provided in the bundle.) The three-pass process, optionally followed by processing for printed output, is automated by the musixtex wrapper script.

The package uses its own specialised fonts, which must be available on the system for musixtex to run.

This version of MusiX builds upon work by Andreas Egler, whose own version is no longer being developed.

The MusiX macros are universally acknowledged to be challenging to use directly: the pmx preprocessor compiles a simpler input language to MusiX macros..
