Re: [TeX-music] Accidental bugfix in PMX
Don Simons wrote: Christian Mondrup wrote I've re-typeset the accompanying music examples with MUP 1. because PMX currently hardly will let me do it ... ?!?! Please see the appended PMX source, which has both PMX 2.413 default positioning and PMX's approximation of Read's rules for this example. The latter set is implemented by using Ao on every main note. Ao causes accidentals to be placed in the order that the chord notes are entered. In the Read examples, I didn't do any other tweaking at all. I'm happy to apologize for my provocative statement on what PMX won't let me do:-) On the other hand that statement indicates that it sometimes pays to be provocative. Now at least humble me understand the power of the PMX Ao accidental directive. So while the order of placement is the same, there are still a few differences between PMX's approximation of Read's rules and Christian's post, especially when Read goes for the vertical stacking on the closest pair while PMX may push one of the two further to the right in cases where some noteheads are left-shifted. Aside from that, the main differences appear to be 1. Shorter 3-accidental cases where Read goes top-bottom-middle and PMX cascades down; 2. PMX's initial placement of a single accidental is closer to the notehead (but that's the MusiXTeX default, folks). my MUP typeset initial accidental distances don't (always) reflect those found in Read's book All in all there are many cases where PMX left alone does get Read's result, and frankly in bar 9 I like PMX's choice better. However, I would be willing to implement a special rule for 3-accidental cases (and make it the default), if people agree. That would be fairly straightforward; but the rest would take a huge amount of trial and error to generalize.

As is seen from the attached MUP source it doesn't that much. I've had to 'manually' place most accidentals as found in Read's book! ...In intervals from the second up to the sixth, the accidental governing the upper note is put closer to the note-head while that affection the lower pitch is put diagonally to the left. ...All intervals wider than a sixth ... have their respective accidentals aligned perpendicularly [that's what I meant by 'columns'] ... When the upper accidental in the interval of a sixth is a flat, some music engraves ... align this flat with the accidental beneath it. This occasional exception may be justified, in that the flat sign has no lower extremities and consequently does not interfere with another accidental aligned neneath it. ... When _three_ accidentals are required, the alignment process is generally as follows: if the outer notes of the chord do not exceed the interval of a sixth, the highest accidental is placed closest to the note-head, the lowest accidental diagonally to the left, and the central accidental at the far left [ex. 9-21 1. and 2.] If the top and bottom notes are farther apart than a sixth, the highest and lowest accidentals are aligned [ex. 9-21 3. and 4.] Whenever the interval of the second is present in a chord structure that requires three accidentals, the alignment is usually as shown in [ex. 9-21 5. to 8.]. If one of the accidentals can be aligned over or under a projecting note-head without reference, it is so placed [ex. 9-21 6. and 8.] There can be no inflexible rules for placement in structures that require _four_ or more accidental signs. One can only say that usually thge highest and lowest accidentals are aligned whenever possible, and the center accidentals arranged diagonally from highest to lowest [first 2 chords in ex. 9-22].

Since there are so many, how can i find things i was not looking for, let's say for piano, without getting impatient because i don't play violin or i'm not a choir? Or, in other words, is there a utility/possibility to extract piano-sheets or the complete list? And, sorry, for this i don't like the google-search possibility... I do agree that search facilities like those outlined would substantially improve our archive. And actually there _is_ hope for such facilities as a 'spin off' from the (hopefully) soon to come change of hosting of our archive. The archive is going to be hosted by the Music Conservatory (School of Music) of Aarhus, Denmark. The IT staff of the conservatory is preparing a database of sheet music from their own archives and scores from the Icking Archive. The search facilities of that database will be publically available. Unfortunately I can't say when that will happen. Neither can I say when the archive will be 'oficially' available at its new address, http://icking-music-archive.org/. Some of you may be able able to access it already now. There are, however, currently network technichal problems (being worked on) that prevent me from taking the new server into real use.

Dear Guido Gonzato. I'm the sheet music editor of the Werner Icking Muisc Archive, http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/ which has an associated mailing list, [EMAIL PROTECTED] A posting to that list by Jörg Anders made me aware of your abc typesetting utilities incl. rpm binaries of abcm2ps and abcpp. As I'm always curious with music typesetting software besides with the MusiXTeX utility suite distributed from our archive I got the above mentioned rpm binaries installed and tested on one of your own typesettings, Ave Regina Coelorum, by Guillaume Dufay. I must say that I'm impressed with the typesetting result, sheet note graphics as well as lyrics :-) However, I do have a suggestion for improvement: slurs should start and end close to their anchoring noteheads which is not the case with some of the slurs in your Dufay score. This score contains quite a few cases of slurs starting or ending at the end of a stem. As I didn't go into further investigations of the abc coding syntax I can't say whether you actually have the choice of altering/modifying the ending points of a slur. If that is not so I recommend improving the abc slur processing such that it as default anchors slur ending points close to noteheads, thereby offsetting them to avoid slurs clashing with or crossing stems. That's just my two-penny point-of-view:-) Besides that I have a comment specific for your Duafy score: the tenor (middle) part is, even if notated with an ordinary G-clef to be read an octave lower. If the abc syntax supports a octave-down G-clef (with the digit 8 drawn beneath the clef glyph) then I recommend using that for the tenor part. Whether that is possible or not you should, however, definitely see to it that the MIDI processing transposes the tenor part an octave down or else an important aspect of Dufay's counterpoint gets lost: it is typical for the music from the Dufay era that the actual bass note shifts between several parts, in this case between the two lower parts.

[TeX-music] Slur problem at line shift
Dear all
I post the inquiry below on behalf of Staffan Lundberg
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) who for technical reasons can't subscribe to
the TeX-Music list
Please take a look at following M-TX example, especially the alto, bar 3-4,
at the line shift. I notice a problem with slurs containing a line feed.
When using M-Tx's default slur routine, you notice that the slur after the
line shift is placed too close to the notes. The starting point of the
slur,
bar 4, should be translated downwards.
Testing psslur's macro \lineslur after the line feed was without success.
It seems that PMX doesn't support \liftslur.
Something for the next PMX version?
Regards,
Staffan Lundberg.

Re: [TeX-music] Grace notes in Mozart piano sonata - how to play?
Stefan Svensson wrote: Ok, it's slightly off-topic, but I know that many subscribers of this list is very good at notation of classical music. I trust in you, my friends! :-) I usually play jazz, but currently I work with a piano sonata by W A Mozart. There are some grace notes in the first movement that I'm not really sure how to play. Should the all be played as appoggiaturas? What time values should they have? All sixteenth, or half the time value of the following note? In music from 2nd half of the 18th century (e.g. that of W.Mozart) there are 2 appogiatura types, the short and the long the latter of which is always played _on_ the beat. Most often (but not always) the duration of the appogiatura note should be the half of the duration of the note to which it is connected. This rule seems to apply on all the appogiature in your sample. For further, but not too lengthy reading, I recommend the article on 'appogiatura' of Willy Apel's one volume 'Harvard Dictionary of Music' For on-line references I recommend the article on 'ornamentation', http://www.dolmetsch.com/musictheory23.htm of 'Music Theory Online' found at the Dolmetsch web site. In our own archive Jean-Pierre Coulon has contributed a French edition, http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/scores/bach-cpe/versuch.pdf of C.Ph.E.Bach's 'Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen' which is among the most important 18th century sources of ornamentation. Another important source of 18th century performance practice is the violin tutor by W.Mozart's father Leopold. I didn't manage to quickly find an on-line edition of that source.

There is a description of *one* method to do so in the info file found with my special version of the lilypond feta fonts used for typesetting mensural notation symbols, see http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/software/musixtex/add-ons/readme-of.txt. A pdf file generated by ps2pdf based on that is clearly better rendered by acrobat reader than if based on a postscript file using type 3 fonts. This can be verified within Acrobat by clicking File - Document Properties - Fonts - List All Fonts, and verifying that all fonts are Type 1. The Acrobat reader is the most widely used pdf viewer but other viewers such as xpdf (on Unix/Linux) and ghostscript-based viewers such as gv and gsview are significantly faster and render type 3 fonts better than Acrobat.

For instance: when closing a group of beamed notes the macro tries to find the opening command for the beam group and insert the last note-beam in the opening command to achieve the correct slope. Font-locking, meaning that the editor colorizes different types of Musixtex commands according to the group the command belongs to. This makes it easier to keep track of, for instance the notes in a beam group and different voices, the beginnings and ends of different ties etc. The groups are user definable, I've chosen stemup/down, two beam groups up, two down, slurs and ties and the like, rests, ornaments, fingerings, justifying commands (like \qsk), headings and comments. The solution as it is now covers a very small subset of Musixtex commands and specially made macros I use to make guitar music, but it should be possible extend it to make a more generic solution, or different versions for different purposes.

Hence I've uploaded a new version of the Michael Praetorius choral setting I used as a coding example.

[TeX-music] Interstaff barlines at mid notes
Dear all. In a posting a few days ago I commented the subject of forced interstaff barlines raised by J.J.Rétorré. In my posting I asked for advice on determining the standard width of musixtex bar lines in order to make manually drawn barlines conform with the ordinarily drawn lines. Noone seems to know about that value, which probably isn't that important. With substantial help from J.J.Rétorr I've now managed to typeset a short choral setting by Michael Praetorius, 'Christe der du bist Tag und Licht' (see Praetorius page) featuring manually drawn bar lines in cases where note values cross barlines. The drawing is done by means of a hew macros from the pstricks macro collection coming with standard TeX distributions. This technique has been mixed with the \interbarrules macro from musixlit.tex where no note values cross bars. The idea is to set meters long enough to contain a section of the composition in which notevalues cross the 'logical' bars and then afterwards draw lines manually at proper places, ie. at the logical bars. The effect of that is that all notes are conforming to the orginal source (here separate part books) having *no barlines* while 'standard' typesetting repesents such note values by splitting and tying notes across bars. The pstricks macro collection contains methods to save nodes (x,y coordinates) within a page (eg. \pnode). Then later lines can be drawn connecting pairs of nodes (eg. \pcline). Thus you only need to save the x-coordinate of a given note event (and offset it suitably), the y-coordinate of the lower staff line of a given staff and the y-coordinate of the upper staff line of the neigbouring lower staff in order to draw a vertical line connecting the 2 staves. You don't need to know the actual space between the staves in question. I've arbitrarily set the width of these pstricks lines to 0.4 pt and am not able to visually determine any difference of width compared to all other lines drawn by musixtex. Since this score has the special purpose of demonstrating the pstrics barline drawing technique I've published the M-Tx source of this typesetting separately along with the score while the remaining typesettings of that series have their sources bundled in one single zip file. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

[TeX-music] interstaff barlines at mid notes
Dear all. A few days ago the problem of forcing inter staff barlines drawn at mid note time was raised in the list. Now J.J.Rétorré has drawn my attention to the pst-node part of the pstricks macro collection. I've done some experiments with these macros based on defining and saving starting and ending anchoring coordinates of line drawings. This makes it possible to draw barlines within barless scores starting at the lower staff line of one staff and ending at the upper staff line of the lower neigbouring staff without having to calculate the actual inter staff space. This is what we typesetters of renaissance music sometimes want to avoid inter bar ties. In order to make this interesting bar line drawing technique independent of the currently selected musicsize I must know how the width of an 'ordinary' barline is defined in musixtex. Is it some fraction of a notehead width, of \Interligne or? When this question has been answered I plan to publish a small demo score making use of hand drawn pst-node bar lines.

Re: [TeX-music] Arabic tuning

In an arabic pop tune by Amr Diab, the instruments (guitar and harmonica, i e traditional western instruments) are tuned to 446 Hz instead of 440 Hz. This makes me curious about the idioms of tuning in the arabic world. Some other music I have listened to do have completely different scales. They are similar to the frygian scale (or whatever it is called in english), but the 2nd and 7th tones are slightly lower. Are there any good low-traffic (like this list) music lists where a discussion like this would be more appropriate? Did you consider subscribing to the USENET newsgroup rec.music.arabic?

defined in pmx.tex. It's two slanted parallel lines and is used in some 17th

Substitute whatever you want for the 2nd argument of \zcharnote.

[TeX-music] Lute tabulation, METAFONT problem
Recently I published a modern edition of Psalm 113 for lute and choir by
Vincenzo Galilei.
For typesetting the lute tablature I've been using the TeX lute font
provided with Wayne Cripp's program 'Tab' for typesetting lute
tablatures with a few extra symbols added (see
http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/software/indexmt6.html#other).
During editing Cripp's .mf source I used a shell script containing a.o.
mf \mode=localfont;input ${1}.mf
gftopk ${1}.600gf
for generating the new glyphs and then copied the .tfm- anf *pk files to
their due places in my localtexmf tree for testing in my typesetting.
This causes no problems as long as these files remain there. But if I
remove them I can't get them rebuilt during TeX run as I'm accustomed to
but get error messages like:
! Emergency stop.
* ...jfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input lute8-tex
(some charht values had to be adjusted by as much as 0.39996pt)
Font metrics written on lute8-tex.tfm.
Output written on lute8-tex.600gf (207 characters, 65232 bytes).
Transcript written on lute8-tex.log.
mktextfm: `mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input lute8-tex' failed.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
I notice that the error occurs immediately before the first of my own
added glyphs (char 25). I'm basically a metafont ignorant and would
hence be grateful for a little help with debugging my modified .mf
source which is available together with the M-Tx sources of my

Re: [TeX-music] ornament fonts
Christof Biebricher wrote: Dear all: I am in need of ornament fonts. The ornaments in the baroque were nationally quite different, e.g., England had special fonts for their shake. Many trills have complementaries at their end (a downturn, in German ``Nachschlag''). The French, e.g. Couperin, indicated them by placing a turn over the trill. Since the classical time it is usually written out. In the German baroque, most notably Bach, it is noted by placing the mordent dash at the end of the trill and it was possible to combine that dash with the trills having downturns at the beginning indicated by a hook ( which Bach called Doppel-cadence ). The musixtex package does not provide for these very frequent ornaments. Werner Icking substituted the long mordent (\Mordent) in contrapunctus 8 of the Kunst der Fuge because it looked somewhat similar. I am working on improving and extending my Organ version as well as Werner Icking's Urtext and string editions and the introduction of a wrong ornament bothers me very much because the execution of both ornaments is totally different. Is there a possibility to get the correct ornament, either by getting the font from another program, by a TeX macro superimposing the stroke or by a font produced by metafont? For my recently published typesetting of a lute tablature by Vincenzo Galilei (see sheet music archive) I needed a set of tablature symbols which I implemented using PsTricks macros. It's fairly simply but has the disadvantage of being uncompatible with dvipdfm. A more 'clean' approach would be to design the new fonts with METAFONT (or METAPOST).

(Is there a possibility to change this rule for an entire score?) I made the experiment to replace the value 4 of the parameters mnumlog and mdenlog in your pmx source by 8 (while keeping the value 4 for mnumprt and mtrdenprt) and removing all forced beams expecting to see beaming groups of 4 8th notes. But actually I got groupings of 3 + 1 8th note! mnumlog mdenlog = 16 results in beaming groups of 1 8th note. I wonder whether this is intentional.

[TeX-music] PSTricks-drawn Music symbols
Dear all. During the last few weeks I've been experimenting with the plain TeX macro collection PSTricks for 'drawing' music typesetting symbols. For these experiments I've been working with a lute tablature made by Vincenzo Galilei on a (now lost) 5 part composition by Alessandro Striggio - both outstanding personalities in late 16th early 17th century Florentine music life. My typesetting contains a transcription of the tablature into 'ordinary' music notation along with Galilei's original lute tablature. For the latter Ronald Gelten's guitar tablature macros TABdefs (available in our software section) has offered the needed wide 6 line tableture staff plus fret marks. Apart from that, however, for Italian style lute tablature there is also needed some special duration symbols to be printed above the tablature staff. I soon realized that MusiXTeX's line drawing facilities will not allow me to generate these facilities. Then I was left with creating the missing symbols as fonts which requires METAFont which is highly above my capacity or with drawing them directly with postscript. And this is what I ended up with by means of the macro collection PSTricks coming both with teTeX and MIKTeX. Among the nice features of these macros is that size parameters may be given in TeX dimensions like \internote so that the size of the symbols drawn grow and shrink with the chosen of \musicsize. IMHO the main perspective of my experiments is that PSTricks allows the typesetter to draw (almost) anything anywhere within a score like is the case with the corresponding drawing facilities of the music typesetter MUP. A minor drawback - which PSTricks shares with PSslurs - is that they don't work with pdftex and dvipdfm. For best result pdf a type 1 postscript score should be made for generating pdf with ps2pdf. I've made my sources available with the published score found in http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/ByComposer/Striggio.html Bye -- Christian Mondrup, Computer Programmer Scandiatransplant, Skejby Hospital, University Hospital of Aarhus Brendstrupgaardsvej, DK 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark Phone: +45 89 49 53 01 - http://www.scandiatransplant.org ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Re: [TeX-music] MUP users: How to place clefs inside measures?
Joerg Anders wrote: Hi all! I want to remove the clef and key signatures placing restriction from NoteEdit (http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html). Many users requested this. Because I use the MUP syntax as file format I need a possibility to express clefs and key signatures everywhere ecpecially not behind a bar sign. But whatever I do I can't find a solution. And the MUP documentation doesn't mention this case. Before I define some non-MUP-conforming syntax: Does anybody know how to place clefs and key signatures somewhere in the middle of a MUP measure ? The clef and key statments can only occur in score environment. But if I place a score statement after - say - a half measure MUP says: can't change context inside a measure Ok, I tried invisbar and hidechanges. But what a disappointment: MUP regards these bars a normal bars and says: time in measure does not add up to time signature. Of course, that's the nature of clefs and key signatures inside measures! Even if this list normally doesn't deal with MUP technical questions I nevertheless choose to answer publically to the benefit of possible other subscribers who - like me - do MUP typesetting along with MusIXTeX-ing The general trick in such cases is to use 'spaces' combined with invisible bar lines and adjusted measure setting. Unless explicitly otherwise flagged spaces do not print anything but do add up to a full measure. In MUP typeset scores pickup bars are generated by means of spaces, see MUP docs section 4.1.3 Also have a look at section 10.3, 'Special uses of invisbar'. Here is a possible method of doing what you want. As you'll notice 'bar 2' is actually made up of 2 bars (bar 2 bar 2a) with an invisible bar line inbetween. Each bar contain printed note values corresponding to a halved bar only and the key- and clef changes are placed at the start of bar 2a. Measure number is decreased by one at the end of bar 2a. Due to the invisible barline for a human reader it looks like there is only one bar 2 with key- and clef change in the middle of the bar.

Re: [TeX-music] Re: Muffat violin sonata on Werner Icking Music Archive
Don Simons wrote: [snip] There's no question about what that note should be, and it's notated correctly according to the old convention. As to whether that was the right choice, there is no right way, no absolute answer. But FWIW here's my answer. I used to take Bernhard's position, out of respect for the composer's intentions. Then at one point a very accomplished violinist was reading one of my settings and complained that the juxtaposition of modern typesetting with the old-style accidental convention was very confusing. The more I thought about it the more I tended to agree. After all, by using computer typesetting tools one has already changed one aspect of the language from the original. But there is also a more practical, less philosophical reason for modernizing the accidentals: Even though modern accidentals are less logical than old-style, we've all been trained modern. My main objective in all my typesetting is to make scores for performance by modern humans, not scholarship. So now I'm pretty hard over on this: I always modernize accidentals in scores I typeset. But clearly if someone's typesetting objectives are different, he may choose a different path. And I respect that, as long as he recognizes that he's not making a modern player's life any easier. For an ongoing project on providing modern urtext editions of flute sonatas by an 18th century Danish composer, Morten Ræhs (see http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/ByComposer/Raehs.html) I've had to make up my mind whether to typeset the accidentals as found in the original manuscript or adhere to what may be roughly and ambigously called 'modern notational standard'. The problem is that in the manuscript accidentals for a given note is often but not consequently repeated within a measure and may contrarily be missing in case of a note repetition across a bar line. I ended up with the same editorial procedures as the above outlined meaning that the scope of an accidental is from where it is introduced to the and of the bar within the staff in question. However, it is not always straight forward what to do: there might a significant information with a *missing* accidental in a bar where other notes of same pitch *have* an accidental. A modern editor can't escape choices and the resulting musical interpretations.

The height of postscript *slurs* is configurable as indicated by the

And one tip - do not redefine \tslur, use smaller value for the defult

Slurs are for phrasing while *ties* are for tiing equally pitched notes
for example across bar- and line breaks. If you use the recently added
PMX (v. 2.355) token 't' together with Ap then you'll get postscript
ties that do not have continuation problems.

Indeed! You're seeking for another construct, \lyrrule...\lyrruleend.
Changing the alto line of your example to, say,
f0 | d2 g | \lyrrule\ f0 | \lyrruleend\ rp | r4 f f f |%
yields the desired line, but it extends into the next bar
which is of course not what you want. I presume the line should end
synchronously to the last eighth notes of the other voices in that bar;
what you'd need for this is sort of a blind note or rest on that beat in
the alto voice that you could attach the \lyrruleend to. Admittedly, I'm
not trained enough in using M-Tx/PMX to know ad hoc how to accomplish
this; perhaps some M-Tx/PMX guru can help here ...
Alternatively, you could end the line under the next barline. This would
require something like \def\atnextbar{\znotes...\lyrruleend\en}.
Unfortunately, PMX itself apparently ignores custom \atnextbar contents
(at least release 2.3 -- which I'm using -- does so) so that some
MusiXTeX hacking would be required in order to use this method; so I
don't really recommend it.
A 'dirty' solution on the M-Tx/PMX level could be:

The idea is to add an extra \lyrruleend\ anchoring point, a blind rest
(r8b) to bar 3 and then compensate for the extra spacing with the PMX
horizontal offset command 'X'. A drawback with this solution is that it
prevents generation of reasonable MIDI output because the extra 8th note
*will* be relected in the MIDI result.

And this is actually what is important to me. However the installation of the type 1 fonts for postscript use can't be done as described in the distribution because the file texmf\dvips\config\updmap is a shell script which is identic with the one found in the unix TeTeX installations. Such a shell script can only be executed on a win9x pc if a bash shell interpreter is also installed. If any of you can supply a working method for installation of type 1 fonts for postscript on win9x then it shouldn't be that hard to provide a MusiXTeX intallation HOWTO for MiKTeX.

Stanislav Kneifl wrote: Hi all, as I can see, lot of people is producing PS or PDF files from MusiXTeX scores. As the bitmapped slurs are not only far from being perfect due to their discrete nature, but causing problems in high-res PS and in Acrobat, you can try the atached PostScript solution for slurs, ties and crescendos. You will find a short explanation at the end of the musixps.tex. This package is adapted from the original version for OpusTeX, therefore some features may not work in MusiXTeX. Someone kind and able may adapt the macro names to the MusiXTeX nature... Basically the macros are very similar to the standard slurs with the following exceptions: \isslur...\tsslur is replaced with \irslur...\tlslur no \iten[ul] and \tten, only \itie[ud] and \ttie \dotted - \dashed no \midslur or \curve, see musixps for shaping no \invertslur yet no \xslurbreak no simple slurs \ibslur and \tbslur work in a different way, positioning the slur exactly above the given _beam_, not _pitch_. However, this feature currently works in OpusTeX only. Can be fixed easily. All the differences except inverted slurs can be easily removed, so the user will be able to choose which slurs to use simply saying \input musixps at the beginning - or not. Major features: - exact positioning for slurs of any length - precisely and intuitively adjustable curvature - slurs won't interfere with staff lines () - no problems in Acrobat and high resolution printers Any comments welcome. I've made some initial - and rather promising - experiments with integrating Stanislaf's postscript slurs into an M-Tx source. Therefore I encourage all of you to have a closer look at the facilities Stanislaf offers for MusiXTeX typesetting. Unix users may install the new macro and the postscript prologue connected to it using the methods outlined in my recently published HOWTO, see http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/software/musixtex/musixtex-for-unix.html. Similar methods will probably apply for win9x MiKTeX as well. You'll have to perform a single correction on Stanislafs macro source musixps.tex.

Re: [TeX-music] PDF: a dissident view
Mats Bengtsson wrote: Much of the traffic on this list in the last month or two has been concerned with the joys of Type-1 fonts and the woes of their imperfections, especially when creating PDF documents. I have sympathy with the desire to standardize on something, and I accept that the archive also contains documents not produced using MusiXTeX, which rules out the DVI format as a universal standard. Nevertheless, if it ain't broken don't fix it. Of all the viewers I have for documents, the DVI viewer looks best on my screen when viewing TeX-produced documents. Next best is Ghostview. Last is Acrobat Reader. Now Ghostview is just as freely available from the exact same company as Acrobat Reader. The only defect of the Postscript format versus PDF as far as I can see, is that some minimal installations of Windows 9x don't have Ghostview, but might (only might) have Acrobat Reader. If we do need to cater to those who don't have TeX, why can't we stick with Postscript? See for example the discussions some months ago on the problems to configure MS Explorer and Netscape to handle gzipped PS files. Personally I agree with Dirk that the screen rendering quality of Ghostview is better than that of Acrobat Reader (that is not true for DVI/xdvi in my experience - maybe due to my hardware). My main reason for converting as many of our postscript scores as possible to pdf is that I as sheet note editor regularily receive emails from frustrated, non-techie users having problems with handling the postscript format. Another important aspect is the browser problem that Mats mentions.

[TeX-music] M-Tx and file conversion for unix/linux users
Dear all. To the benefit of those doing MusiXTeX typesetting under unix (including linux) I have prepared two new resources which Don has made available from the software section of our archive - a source distribution of the 'official' release 0.52 of M-Tx including my own patches, (a.o. increasing the max 9 voices limit). Read the accompanying file INSTALL.unix for instructions. - a tiny utility dos2unix for converting files with DOS end-of-line format (\r \n) to Unix end-of-line format (\n). Read the accompanying file README for installation instructions. Correct end-of-line format is crucial for mtx- as well as pmx source files. Dos2unix may be used as an alternative to the much more comprehensive GNU file conversion programme 'recode' which you may find in your nearest GNU mirror archive Enjoy -- Christian Mondrup, Computer Programmer Scandiatransplant, Skejby Hospital, University Hospital of Aarhus Brendstrupgaardsvej, DK 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark Phone: +45 89 49 53 01 - http://www.scandiatransplant.org ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

[TeX-music] Pdf is now primary sheet music format
Dear all. Some time ago I asked the staff of the sunsite.dk server about our use of disk space for sheet music. They have now answered back that disk space is limited and that we should not store both pdf- and postscript versions the same score in our sheet music archive. As I've told you a few weeks ago Don and I have decided to make pdf our primary format for publishing sheet music utilizing the magnificent new type 1 musixtex fonts. Hence I encourage all of you to upload solely pdf scores with your future contributions if at all possible. Yesterday I removed all gzip'ed postscript scores from our collection of instrumental music for those scores stored both in postscript and pdf format and in the coming days I'm going to perform that space use reduction for the vocal music collection as well. I repeat my encouragement to you all to upload pdf versions of your contributions up till now.

[TeX-music] Mensural notation type 1 fonts
Dear all. Inspired by Bob Tennent experiments with musixtex type 1 fonts I've made a set of type 1 fonts for my collection of mensural notation utilities http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/scores/ravenscroft/mupcommon.zip primarily used in my editions of music by Thomas Ravenscroft. These utilities encompass a 'frozen' version of the feta fonts from the GNU typesetting system Lilypond (http://lilypond.org/development/). Like Bob I used the textrace facility to generate type 1 fonts (my_old-feta16.pfb and my_old-feta20.pfb) from the base Lilypond tex fonts. The resulting .pfb files have now been included into my mensural notation utilities. Like the musixtex type 1 fonts the feta fonts should be stored in a directory where TeX can find them (I store them together with the musixtex fonts in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/musixtex). I added entries for the fonts to the configuration file /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/musixtex.map created for the use of the musixtex type 1 fonts ... old-feta16 TeX-old-feta16 my_old-feta16.pfb old-feta20 TeX-old-feta20 my_old-feta20.pfb and to the dvipdfm muixtex configuration file /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/musixtex.map ... old-feta16 default my_old-feta16.pfb old-feta20 default my_old-feta20.pfb Enjoy -- Christian Mondrup, Computer Programmer Scandiatransplant, Skejby Hospital, University Hospital of Aarhus Brendstrupgaardsvej, DK 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark Phone: +45 89 49 53 01 - http://www.scandiatransplant.org ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
