\chapter{\musixtex\ Examples}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The file \verb|musixdoc.tex|, the source for this manual, contains many useful
|
||
|
|
examples. In the manual, many examples are accompanied by a display of the code
|
||
|
|
that produced them, while for a few only an image of the extract is included and you'll
|
||
|
|
have to look in the \verb|musixdoc| source files to see the coding.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other useful examples cannot be embedded in the source, either because they are
|
||
|
|
meant to be in \TeX, not \LaTeX, or because they are simply too large. For
|
||
|
|
these the source files also are provided separately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When compiling or viewing any of the examples, you should keep in mind that
|
||
|
|
most DVI previewers and laser printers have
|
||
|
|
their origin one inch below and one inch to the right of the upper right corner
|
||
|
|
of the paper, while the musical examples have their upper left
|
||
|
|
corner just one centimeter to the right and below the top left corner of the page.
|
||
|
|
Therefore, special parameters may have to be given to the DVI transcription
|
||
|
|
programs unless special \keyindex{hoffset} and \keyindex{voffset} \TeX\
|
||
|
|
commands have been included within the \TeX\ source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\section{Small examples}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0ex}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt ossiaexa.tex}~: This is a stand-alone example of the use of ossia,
|
||
|
|
provided by Olivier Vogel (Section~\ref{ossia} on page \pageref{ossia}).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt 8bitchar.tex}~: Using 8bit characters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\section{Full examples}
|
||
|
|
The small examples above and the longer ones mentioned below are included in
|
||
|
|
the documentation folder of the \musixtex\ package.
|
||
|
|
Some of them require
|
||
|
|
\verb|musixcpt.tex| which makes examples created in
|
||
|
|
Music\TeX\ compatible with \musixtex. Here we mention a few of
|
||
|
|
special interest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsection{Examples mentioned in the manual}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0ex}
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt avemaria.tex}~: the ``M\'editation'' (alias ``Ave Maria'') by
|
||
|
|
Charles {\sc Gounod} for organ and violin or voice.\index{Gounod, C.@{\sc Gounod, C.}}
|
||
|
|
To run this five-page example you'll also need \texttt{avemariax.tex}.
|
||
|
|
It demonstrates the use of separated bar rules (Section~\ref{avemaria2})
|
||
|
|
and the use of staves of different sizes (Section~\ref{avemaria}).
|
||
|
|
Also, an additional instrument is created for lyrics. This was a common
|
||
|
|
practice before the \texttt{musixlyr} package was created by Rainer Dunker.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt glorias.tex}~: a local melody for the French version of
|
||
|
|
\ital{Gloria in excelsis Deo}, a three-page piece demonstrating the use of the hardlyrics
|
||
|
|
commands (Section~\ref{glorias}). {\tt gloriab.tex} is the same piece, but with organ accompaniment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsection{Other examples, provided by the authors of \musixtex }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0ex}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt traeumer.tex}~: the famous ``Tr\"aumerei'' by
|
||
|
|
Robert {\sc Schumann}\index{Schumann, R.@{\sc Schumann, R.}} for piano, in genuine
|
||
|
|
\musixtex\ but with some
|
||
|
|
additions to perform ascending bitmapped \itxem{crescendos}.
|
||
|
|
There are also S-shaped slurs between 2 staves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt parnasum.tex}~: the first page of ``Doctor gradus ad
|
||
|
|
Parnassum'' by Claude {\sc Debussy}\index{Debussy,
|
||
|
|
C.@{\sc Debussy, C.}} for piano.
|
||
|
|
It contains a rather complex example of a new command \verb+\Special+
|
||
|
|
to create staff-jumping doubly beamed notes.
|
||
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\subsection{Additional documentation}

\begin{itemize}\setlength{\itemsep}{0ex}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\item{\tt sottieng}~: Notation mistakes, provided by Jean-Pierre Coulon.

\section{Compiling \texttt{musixdoc.ltx}}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This manual is an excellent example of a primarily text document with embedded
|
||
|
|
musical excerpts. For this reason, it is a \LaTeX\ document and must be compiled
|
||
|
|
with \verb|latex| rather than \verb|etex|. Those wishing to combine text and
|
||
|
|
musical excerpts should carefully study how it is done here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before compiling or recompiling \verb|musixdoc.ltx|, you should remove all the auxiliary
|
||
|
|
files {\tt musixdoc.[mx1\|\allowbreak mx2\|\allowbreak aux\|\allowbreak toc\|\allowbreak ind\|\allowbreak idx\|\allowbreak ilg\|\allowbreak out]}
|
||
|
|
if they are present. Then the following command sequence will produce \verb|musixdoc.ps|:
|
||
|
|
\begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
|
||
|
|
latex musixdoc
|
||
|
|
musixflx musixdoc
|
||
|
|
latex musixdoc
|
||
|
|
makeindex musixdoc
|
||
|
|
latex musixdoc
|
||
|
|
latex musixdoc
|
||
|
|
dvips -e0 musixdoc
|
||
|
|
\end{verbatim}\end{quote}
|
||
|
|
The initial three steps \verb|latex|\allowbreak$\to$\allowbreak\verb|musixflx|\allowbreak$\to$\allowbreak\verb|latex| build up the basic appearance of the document including musical examples.
|
||
|
|
The \verb|makeindex| step produces the database for the index.
|
||
|
|
After that, \verb|latex| must be run at least twice to complete cross referencing.
|
||
|
|
Finally, \verb|dvips| converts the \verb|.dvi| file into \verb|.ps|;
|
||
|
|
the \texttt{-e0} option prevents \texttt{dvips} from making pixel adjustments
|
||
|
|
intended for letters in words.
|
||
|
|
To produce \verb|musixdoc.pdf|, use \verb|ps2pdf| or the Distiller component of Adobe Acrobat, or open \verb|musixdoc.ps| in \texttt{GSview}, go to
|
||
|
|
{\tt File\|Convert}, select \verb|pdfwrite| at 600 dpi resolution, and click
|
||
|
|
\verb|OK|.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternatively, if you have the \verb|musixtex| script, just run
|
||
|
|
\verb|musixtex -x musixdoc|
|
||
|
|
(where
|
||
|
|
the \verb|-x| option is only needed to create a new index database).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
%If you use an older version of \LaTeX\ which doesn't automatically
|
||
|
|
%invoke $\varepsilon$\hbox{-}\nobreak\TeX, you will encounter the
|
||
|
|
%error ``{\tt !~No room for new \string\count}''.
|
||
|
|
%This is because \verb|musixdoc.tex| invokes \verb|musixtex.tex|, which together with \LaTeX\
|
||
|
|
%requires more storage registers than available in \TeX.
|
||
|
|
%You may be able get around this by using the command
|
||
|
|
%\verb|elatex| instead of \verb|latex|;
|
||
|
|
%however, it is strongly recommended to upgrade your \TeX\ system to a more recent
|
||
|
|
%version in which \verb|latex| automatically invokes $\varepsilon$\hbox{-}\nobreak\TeX.
