Re: [Tex-music] Making parts of a M-Tx score

2011-04-08 Thread dsimons
Well, I have a version of scor2prt that can process instrumental scores with up 
to 24 voices (which I guess I've neglected to post in WIMA). I don't know 
whether it'll pull out the vocal parts correctly. I'm away from home until 
later tonight and will put that up on WIMA when I get home. Meanwhile, Hermann, 
could you privately email me the pmx source (M-Tx output) for your score so I 
have something to work with? If it doesn't work, I might even look into seeing 
what it takes to make it work.

It should be fairly easy to write a Lua script that extracts the necessary
lines.  Since any modern TeX distribution supplies texlua, one should not
need any extra software.  Send me your M-Tx score and I'll try that.

You might want to have a look at the Tips-and-Tricks page 'Using the 
abcpp preprocessor with M-Tx', 
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmxtricks/abcpp.html


My complete edition, including separate parts, of "Selva di Varia 
Ricreatione" by Orazio Vecchi 
(http://icking-music-archive.org/ByComposer/Vecchi.php) is based on that.

[Tex-music] MusiXTeX at CTAN

2011-04-08 Thread Bob Tennent
The new version of MusiXTeX (1.15), together with up-to-date
documentation, musixflx, Postscript slurs, type 1 fonts, musixlyr,
musixcrd, etc. has been at CTAN for about a week. This distribution
can be easily installed using an unzipper on any TDS (TeX Directory
Structure) compliant TeX system, including MikTeX, TeXLive, teTeX, and
MacTeX.

>From there, it was picked up by TeXLive and is now available for
updating from TeXLive servers. TeXLive is a multi-platform distribution
maintained by the TeX Users Group.  It can be installed on any of nineteen
platforms, including i386-linux, win32, MacOSX, etc.

And today I received a message from Christian Schenk (lead developer of
MikTeX) that the musixtex at MiKTeX is up-to-date. (I don't see this yet
at the mirrors, but likely by tomorrow.)

Our success at getting up-to-date versions of MusiXTeX into mainline
distributions of TeX is very gratifying. I'm grateful for the
assistance and cooperation of (in no particular order) Don Simons, Ross
Mitchell, Robin Fairbairns, Takanori Uchiyama, Stanislav Kneifl, Peter
Breitenlohner, Karl Berry, Bernd Jantzen, Norbert Preining, Jean-Pierre
Coulon, Jill-Jênn Vie, and Joel Hunsberger.

[Tex-music] Making parts of a M-Tx score

2011-04-08 Thread Hermann Hinsch
Hi all,

do you think there would be a possibility to exstract single voices from a M-Tx 
score of 17 
voices? I tried scor2part on the pmx ouput of the M-Tx score. But no chance!

i concur, here.  i work in another collaboration, maintaining the tex
archive network: recently, one collaborator resigned and withdrew his
node (tug.ctan.org) from the network.  since then, we have come to
realise that two nodes aren't enough: we've been run off our feet, and
have made far more mistakes than we would ordinarily expect.
(fortunately, none of the mistakes was in any sense "serious".)

tug is more active now than it has seemed in my 25 years as a tex user;
long may it remain so! -- it's providing valuable resources.

There is a discussion on the future of WIMA that we should be aware of.


I encourage Tex-Music subscribers to participate in that discussion.

Let me emphasize, though, that the discussion is primarily focussed on 
WIMA's sheet music activities: they're increasingly vulnerable with just 
one, not that young person, yours sincerely, as manager.


In order to have WIMA's score collection maintained in the long run we 
_must_ transform WIMA into a fully collaborative project.


WIMA's software activities are on a much more modest level. I have my 
hands full with the score activities and hence participate only sparsely 
in the management of the MusiXTeX related activities. Luckily there is a 
group of persons taking responsibility with Don as a highly competent 
'boss'. I don't see any urgent need for changing the web interface of 
the MusiXTeX WIMA interface like that under discussion for the score 
collection. But maybe WIMA's MusiXTeX section could benefit from a 
'modernization'. Please feel to comment on that in the new WIMA forum, 
http://forums.icking-music-archive.org/index.php


Concerning this mailing list we should definitely make no changes after 
TUG (TeX User Group) has taken over the hosting.
