+This archive contains a MusiXTeX extension library
+musixtnt.tex and C source code, binaries for Windows (32
+bit and 64 bit) and MacOSX, and documentation for a program
+msxlint.
+
+musixtnt.tex provides a macro \TransformNotes that
+enables transformations of the effect of notes
+commands such as \notes. 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.
