MusiXTeX is a set of TeX macros to typeset polyphonic, orchestral or polyphonic music. 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. But, once you master it... MusiXTeX is documented in /usr/local/lib/texmf/documentation/musixtex.tex. This file must be processed with LaTeX and musixflx: latex musixdoc musixflx musixdoc latex musixdoc makeindex musixdoc.idx latex musixdoc makeindex musixdoc.idx latex musixdoc A few examples are provided in the directory /usr/local/lib/texmf/documentation/musixtex.examples for instance, to typeset the file 'traeumer.tex' type: musixtex traeumer musixflx traeumer musixtex traeumer WWW: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/indexmt6.html
