In general, the effect of +\TransformNotes{input}{output} is that notes commands in +the source will expect their arguments to match the input +pattern, but the notes will be typeset according to the +output pattern. An example is extracting single-instrument +parts from a multi-instrument score. + +msxlint detects incorrectly formatted notes lines in a +MusiXTeX source file. This should be used before using +\TransformNotes. + +To install: + +Create texmf/tex/generic/musixtnt in a local or personal +texmf tree and move musixtnt.tex into it. + +Create texmf/doc/generic/musixtnt and move there the files +in the doc directory. + +Update the file-name database as required by your TeX +installation. + +If your platform is UNIX-like, process the +musixtnt-<version>.tar.gz file as usual (tar zxvf ..., +./configure, make, make install). + +If your platform is Windows, move the executable msxlint.exe +from either the 32bit or the 64bit folder to a folder on the +executable PATH. + +If your platform is Mac OS-X, install the executable from +the macosx directory. + +musixtnt.tex, utils.c and msxlint.c are licensed under the +GPL version 2 or (at your option) any later version. + +Please report bugs and experience (good or bad) using these +programs to me. + +Bob Tennent +rdt(at)cs(dot)queensu(dot)ca +2016-01-30 |
