-The Lua script \verb\.../scripts/m-tx/m-tx.lua\

+\section{Usage}
+To process an M-Tx source file, use the \verb|musixtex| script
+which is included in the \verb|musixtex| package.
+If applied to a file with \verb|.mtx| extension, it will by default execute \verb|prepmx| followed by
+\verb|pmxab|, followed
+by \verb|etex|, \verb|musixflx|, and \verb|etex| again, followed by
+conversion to PDF using \verb|dvips| and \verb|ps2pdf|.
+There are many options to vary the default behaviour.
