+I did not need these to make it work with my version of TeX. But a
+colleague down the hall did, and obviously so did Olivier. So this
+will be in the next revision. Meanwhile, if you're having this
+problem, instead of putting these lines in the .tex file, you could
+put them as the first and last lines of pmtex.tex, and not need to
+worry about it any more.

+ PMTeX
+ A Preprocessor for MusicTeX
+ by Don Simons (dsimons@logicon.com)
+
+ INTRODUCTION
+ PMTeX will generate MusicTeX code for multi-staff scores with up to
+ five staves (or voices) per system. Once it makes a .tex file for you,
+ you will probably want or need to change a few things manually. This is
+ because (a) PMTeX only has a small subset of the capabilities of
+ MusicTeX, and (b) PMTeX is not perfect. But it can save a LOT of time
+ with the grunge work involved in setting up notes...enotes groupings,
+ defining beams, justifying lines, and spreading the entire piece evenly
+ over a specified number of systems.
