--- Begin Message ---Package: musixtex Version: 1:0.112.1-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi, I wanted to add some music into a booklet I was typesetting. Prior to adding music, LaTeX was happy. I added the following snippet: \begin{music} \instrumentnumber{1} \setstaffs{1}{2} \setclef{1}{\bass} \setclef{2}{\treble} \generalsignature{2} \startextract \NOtes \zd 'D & \zu 'F | \zd d & \zu 'a \enotes \NOtes \zd 'D & \zu 'F | \zd d & \zu 'a \enotes\bar \endextract \end{music} and when I run latex now, I get: matt...@ming:~/personal/wedding$ latex order.tex This is e-TeX, Version 3.14159-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) entering extended mode (./order.tex LaTeX2e <2001/06/01> Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, french, german, ngerman, n ohyphenation, basque, czech, icelandic, slovak, slovene, loaded.

--- Begin Message ---Hi Matthew, thanks for your input. Now I understand - musixtex speaks a completely different language than the one you proposed. ;-) e.g. * There is nothing like 'D - musixtex has its own note names like a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n, etc. * It has some issues with spaces when you embed it inside latex documents (don't ask me why ;-) * You better use latex and musixtex as documented (consecutive latex and musixflx calls). I suggest reading the included Manual (musixdoc.dvi - I also needed some months to write some basic stuff directly with musixtex) - or use the pmx or m-tx preprocessors for musixtex. Thanks for considering - I'm closing this bug now, attaching an example that compiles cleanly. bye, Roland On 28/06/10 11:57, Matthew Vernon wrote: > Hi, > >> we didn't talk about #359946 for some years. ;-) > > I never really did get it to work, so I went to using lilypond instead :( > >> Can you add some more input or is the problem gone? > > Well, I am sad enough that I'd still like to debug this, so :) > > I installed texlive-music, and copied the musixtex code from the bug > report.
