1.35 Added support for use of a "handwriting" font for textual elements of a score, as is traditionally used for jazz scores. 1.34 This release includes a new extension library musixftab.tex which supports traditional French tablature using script letters rather than numerals to specify notes. The \tabfnt definitions in musixtex.tex have been revised to allow re-definition in musixftab.tex. A mini-font file frenchtab.pfb and associated support files are included.

MusiXTeX provides a set of macros, based on the earlier
|
|
MusicTeX, for typesetting music with TeX. To produce optimal
|
|
spacing, MusiXTeX is a three-pass system: etex, musixflx, and
|
|
etex again. (Musixflx is a lua script that is provided in the
|
|
bundle.) The three-pass process, optionally followed by
|
|
processing for printed output, is automated by the musixtex
|
|
wrapper script. The package uses its own specialised fonts,
|
|
which must be available on the system for musixtex to run. This
|
|
version of MusiXTeX builds upon work by Andreas Egler, whose
|
|
own version is no longer being developed. The MusiXTeX macros
|
|
are universally acknowledged to be challenging to use directly:
|
|
the pmx preprocessor compiles a simpler input language to
|
|
MusiXTeX macros..
