If you are not familiar with \TeX{} at all, I would recommend\\
|
|
to find another software package to do musical typesetting.\\
|
|
Setting up \TeX{} and \musixtex\ on your machine and mastering it is\\
|
|
an awesome job which gobbles up a lot of your time and disk space.\\[\medskipamount]
|
|
But, once you master it\ldots\\[\smallskipamount]

\musixtex\ was developed by Daniel Taupin, Ross Mitchell and Andreas
|
|
Egler,
|
|
building
|
|
on earlier work by Andrea Steinbach and Angelika Schofer.
|
|
Unfortunately, Daniel Taupin, the main developer, died all too early in a 2003
|
|
climbing accident. The \musixtex\ community was shocked by this tragic and unexpected
|
|
event. You may read tributes to Daniel Taupin that are archived at the
|
|
\href{http://icking-music-archive.org}{\underline{Werner Icking Music Archive}} (WIMA\index{WIMA}).
|
|
|
|
Since then, the only significant update to \musixtex\ has been in version 1.15 (April 2011) which
|
|
takes advantage of the greater capacity of the e\TeX\ version of \TeX.
|
|
This manual
|
|
is the definitive reference to all features of
|
|
\musixtex\ version~1.33a.
|
|
|
|
Novice users need not start here.
|
|
Most
|
|
music typesetting tasks can be accomplished entirely by using the \textbf{PMX}
|
|
(for instrumental music) or \mbox{\textbf{M-Tx}} (for vocal music)
|
|
preprocessors to generate the \musixtex\ input file, relieving the user of
|
|
learning any of the commands or syntax of \musixtex\ itself. It is only
|
|
for out-of-the-ordinary constructions that one must learn these details in order
|
|
to insert the necessary \musixtex\ commands into the preprocessor's input file
|
|
as so-called inline \TeX.
|
|
|
|
Advanced users might
|
|
want to use \verb|autosp|, another preprocessor. It simplifies
|
|
the production of \musixtex\ scores by automating the choice of
|
|
note-spacing commands; see Section~\ref{autosp}.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to create inputs for \musixtex, \textbf{PMX}, \mbox{\textbf{M-Tx}} or
|
|
\texttt{autosp} using any text editor, such as \verb|notepad| or \verb|vi| or
|
|
\verb|emacs|. Currently there is no graphical user interface for
|
|
generating input files, other than \TeX-oriented integrated
|
|
graphical development environments such as \TeX Works.
|
|

|
