Before posting it officially, I would like to as to all of you to test it, in place of the T109 ot T110 versions you may have. Some command structures have been changes and it does not fail in some of my examples, but other tests would be welcome. Checked with several older and newer files under linux; works fine. Is there somebody who observes difficulties or slowing down when \including musixadd? Otherwise it could IMO also be incorporated in musixtex.

[TeX-music] did not know Finale was for free
I bought it because it could make notes from midi (it did so, but i could do nothing with the midi but listening to it). I could not manage to have a page layout, it went all on 1 line. I could not make an upbeat on the 1st mesure. It was tedious to place text on the notes. The only thing i could do was running the examples (in Musixtex, if i can run the examples, i know enough to start edit the music). I got help by a friend, but he found a nice pagelayout not important and so on. I did not much effort to learn it, because the output is inferior to Musixtex. I see music sheets made by Finale with only 1 musicline on the last page, with no slurs on the notes and so on and if there are errors on it (this one is no exclusivity for Finale users) they usually are corrected with a pencil.

[TeX-music] musixpss ver.0.50 is now available
Dear all, Last night (JST) I released musixpss version 0.50 official release. (Don found this just on the day!) http://homepage1.nifty.com/kuuku/notation/musixpss-0.50.tar.gz I have not got any problem reports about the preview-release2 since 2002/10/14, so official release is functionally equal to it. (some small fixes was done.) There is some new features and replaced commands from ver.0.41. * Slur thickness adjustment. * pdfTeX (ver.1.10a-devel) compatible * Operation mode selection command is changed. * Switching EPS-based slurs and font-based slurs at any place * Support program: cleaning intermediate EPS files It seems musixpss ver.0.50 can work on T.111 too, at first impression. (I'm going to do more test.) Comments, suggestions, bug reports, etc. are welcome.

Re: [TeX-music] Glossary
There's a link to an HTML version of the glossary at the Icking archive, click on Lists and then glossary. At the top of the HTML version, there's also links to PS and PDF versions. The glossary is included in the Lilypond distribution at the moment. /Mats Daniel Taupin wrote: In musixdoc.tex which I'm partly reviewing, there is an allusion to a file glossary.ps at ftp.gmd.de.

I've compiled musixdoc without problems. I use teTeX on Mac OS X. Thank you very much Daniel for providing the so nice and so useful musixtex.
