-This is MusiXTeX, version 1.37 (2023-10-07).
-MusiXTeX is a TeX-based system for typesetting music.
-
-The main author was Daniel Taupin, who died in a climbing
-accident in 2003; other authors credited in the MusiXTeX
-manual are Andreas Egler and Ross Mitchell. MusiXTeX is now
-being maintained by
-
-Don Simons dsimons(at)roadrunner(dot)com
-Hiroaki Morimoto CQX05646(at)nifty(dot)com
-Bob Tennent rdt(at)cs(dot)queensu(dot)ca
-
-The package includes
-
- + Postscript slur support, due to Stanislav Kneifl
-
- + musixlyr support for lyrics, due to Rainer Dunker
-
- + musixcrd support for chord symbols, due to Robert Hennig
-
- + support for music text in Palatino, Helvetica, Times
- and EC fonts
-
- + several other extension packages
-
- + a script musixflx.lua for the 2nd-pass processing
-
- + a script musixtex.lua that uses pre-processors prepmx,
- pmxab or autosp, as necessary, and automates the 3-pass
- etex -> musixflx -> [pdf]etex process, possibly
- followed by calls to dvips and ps2pdf (or dvipdfm) to
- convert the output to Portable Document Format (PDF)
-
- + wrapper scripts musixflx.bat and musixtex.bat for use on Windows
-
-MusiXTeX fonts, including both the original metafont sources
-and Type 1 versions by Takanori Uchiyama, and specialized
-fonts frenchtab and MuseJazzText have been moved to a
-separate musixtex-fonts package, which must be installed
-before using the MusiXTeX macros.
-
-musixtex-install.{pdf,tex} is a more-detailed version of the
-following instructions:
-
-To install (on TDS-compliant TeX systems):
-
- + unzip mirror.ctan.org/install/macros/musixtex.tds.zip at the root of a
- texmf tree and, if necessary, update the filename database;
- e.g., texhash texmf.
-
- + on Windows: move the scripts in Windows to a folder
- on the executable PATH (or add that folder to the PATH)
-
- + on any Unix-like system: install symbolic links musixflx
- and musixtex in a directory on the executable PATH to
- scripts/musixtex/musixflx.lua and scripts/musixtex/musixtex.lua,
- respectively.
-
-Documentation for MusiXTeX and friends is installed under
-
-doc/generic/musixtex
-
-Documentation for the musixflx and musixtex scripts are in
-
-doc/generic/musixtex/scripts
-
-Many users, especially beginners, will find it easier to
-use the PMX and M-Tx pre-processors, which accept a simpler
-input language than MusiXTeX itself. Another pre-processor,
-autosp, simplifies input to MusiXTeX by automatically
-generating note-spacing commands. These pre-processor
-packages may be found at CTAN under support. Additional
-documentation, additional add-on packages, and many examples
-of MusiXTeX typesetting may be found at the Werner Icking
-Music Archive at
-
-http://icking-music-archive.org/
-
-Support for users of MusiXTeX and related software may be
-obtained via the MusiXTeX mail list at
-
-http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
-
-MusiXTeX may be freely copied, duplicated and used in
-conformance to the GNU General Public License (Version 2,
-1991, see included file gpl.txt) or (at your option) any
-later version.
