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. + +fixmsxpart corrects note spacing in a single-part MusiXTeX +source (possibly derived from a multi-instrument score and +as a result having irregular note spacing). + +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-2014-02-04.tar.gz file as usual (tar zxvf ..., +./configure, make, make install). + +If your platform is Windows, move the executables +msxlint.exe and fixmsxpart.exe in either the 32bit or the +64bit folders to a folder on the executable PATH. + +If your platform is Mac OS-X, install the executables +in the macosx directory. + +musixtnt.tex, fixmsxpart.c, utils.c and msxlint.c are +licensed under the GPL version 2. + +Please report bugs and experience (good or bad) using these +programs to me. + +Bob Tennent +rdt@cs.queensu.ca +2015-02-05 |
