- Short: A Preprocessor for MusicTeX
- Author: Don Simons (dsimons@logicon.com)

-
- INTRODUCTION
- PMTeX will generate MusicTeX code for multi-staff scores with up to
- five staves (or voices) per system. Once it makes a .tex file for you,
- you will probably want or need to change a few things manually. This is
- because (a) PMTeX only has a small subset of the capabilities of
- MusicTeX, and (b) PMTeX is not perfect. But it can save a LOT of time
- with the grunge work involved in setting up notes...enotes groupings,
- defining beams, justifying lines, and spreading the entire piece evenly
- over a specified number of systems.
- PMTeX can deal with one and only one melody per staff (voice). It
- won't let you change the time signature or key signature within a piece.
-
- TECHNICAL
- I (the Uploader) have compiled PMTeX with f2c and had to change the src
- therefore (See src/pmtex.diffs for more information). I've included an
- "ready to print" dvi-file (examples/music.dvi) with some manual correction
- to the original file (sample.tex = orig, music.tex=changed), So you can
- get quickly a first impression.
-
- IMPORTANT
- Of course you need to have TeX installed (I used PasTeX 1.4b) and MusicTeX
- (avalaible from ftp.gmd.de:music/musictex/musictex-5xx.tar.gz). If you
- don't have that, throw away this program ;-) (NOT).
-
- QUESTIONS
- If you have any problems with the amiga port, mail to me, general problems
- with pmtex should be mailed to the original author.
