[Tex-music] an answer about musixflx
Dear Matyas, Here is the answer from the TeX Musix mailing list. Hope it helps.

It is awful to think of the essential human energy moving so tiny a thing; it is like imagining that human nature could live in the wing of a butterfly or the leaf of a tree. When we look upon lives so human and yet so small, we feel the same kind of obligation to these creatures that [God] might feel. -- GKC --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Thanks heaps for this. I've forwarded the answer on and hope it helps. I don't think he's subscribed to the mailing list. Maybe he picked my email as my last name is German - my husband speaks a little, I should learn more. Veronica For sure ! But I guess he can read english as well ? I think you'll have to forward the mail (or did he subscribe to the mailing list ?).

Re: [Tex-music] fwd: question about musixflx
Hello Everyone, it's Mat. I'm from Hungary, and yes, I can speak English and German as well, and yes, I picked Veronica Brandt, because I forgot, that .au means 'Australia' and not 'Austria' :-) And finally, yes, I'm subscribed, and to tell you the truth, it's really heart-warming, that so many people stick together to solve a beginner's problem. Thank you. Now, I have to tell you, that after I did what you advised me, something already happened, but not really what I expected. 1.) I copied musixflx.bat, musixflx.lua, musixflx.exe, musixflx.mx1 and musixflx.mx4 into the directory, where the .tex file is, just to make sure, that every needed file is at hand for LaTeX. 2.) In Total Commander I typed into the command line: musixflx watzullenwe. Here watzullenwe is the basename of the .tex file. 3.) Now, I opened watzullenwe.tex in TexWorks, and compiled it with XeLaTeX (is it the last step of the three-pass-system?). And then I got this message: This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9997.4 (Web2C 2010) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (./watzullenwe.tex LaTeX2e 2009/09/24 Babel v3.8l and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang, nohyphenation, ge rman-x-2009-06-19, ngerman-x-2009-06-19, afrikaans, ancientgreek, ibycus, arabi c, armenian, basque, bulgarian, catalan, pinyin, coptic, croatian, czech, danis h, dutch, ukenglish, usenglishmax, esperanto, estonian, ethiopic, farsi, finnis h, french, galician, german, ngerman, swissgerman, monogreek, greek, hungarian, icelandic, assamese, bengali, gujarati, hindi, kannada, malayalam, marathi, or iya, panjabi, tamil, telugu, indonesian, interlingua, irish, italian, kurmanji, lao, latin, latvian, lithuanian, mongolian, mongolianlmc, bokmal, nynorsk, pol ish, portuguese, romanian, russian, sanskrit, serbian, slovak, slovenian, spani sh, swedish, turkish, turkmen, ukrainian, uppersorbian, welsh, loaded.

If not and if no one else provides a link, let me know and I'll ferret it out. It wasn't easy to do...lots of inline TeX required. It's in the MusiXTeX manual http://www.icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/musixdoc.pdf in section 2.18.3. And the example isn't in PMX. This can no doubt be done in PMX with inline TeX but it'll be pretty tricky. Your other thought about using an EPS could probably also work, but I've only seen that in LaTeX documents, not plain TeX; and besides, to me it's unaesthetic to have your source spread out over more than one file. I'd suggest trying to use the method exemplified in musixdoc together with inline TeX in PMX. If you get stuck, that WOULD be a good problem to post on the list. Who knows, someone might even work out a simple example based on this posting (hint, hint, Olivier). Harrumph! Ideally, we want the following. (1) The ossia is defined not only in the same file but physically close to the primary alternative. For a short ossia, both alternatives can be visible in a text editor at the same time. (2) The ossia is written in pmx rather than musixtex. Well, mostly, at least. (3) When changes happen in the looseness or a system break happens in the middle of the ossia, the program does the right thing. With respect to the example in the musixtex manual, I had to hack the source around before I could get a result looking like the manual. Perhaps I misunderstand something, but the code as given does have the \hsize of the ossia hard-coded; I additionally tightened the spacing within the ossia. I found another example in musixtex at http://www.mail-archive.com/tex-music@sunsite.dk/msg00532.html. This example handles changes in looseness nicely but it breaks conspicuously if a system break falls within the ossia. Warning: hand-waving ahead. My temptation is to try to write a script to pull ossias out of a pmx file, typeset them, and then put the whole thing back together. But having seen smart and experienced people call this a difficult problem, I suspect that I cannot hope to accomplish something useful. Is the gave worth the candle? What do you think?

Re: [Tex-music] fwd: question about musixflx
Welcome, Mat! I can’t solve your problem completely since I operate in a totally different environment. But it appears you’re trying to use MusiXTeX within LaTeX. Unless you have some very good reason (like maybe writing a book with embedded musical examples), it’s much cleaner and easier to use MusiXTeX with plain TeX (or eTeX). LaTeX provides unnecessary extra baggage. And once you get MusiXTeX running, you really should consider using the preprocessor PMX. --Don Simons From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Mátyás Seress Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 7:59 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] fwd: question about musixflx Hello Everyone, it's Mat.

Hi, Philipp-- This one looks easy. Try replacing the two lines containing getarg with the comment lines that follow them. (Use any text editor. Just remove the c from the comment lines). I guess I have the only FORTRAN compiler in the world where getarg has 3 arguments rather than 2. --Don Simons -Original Message- From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Philipp Neukel Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2011 8:58 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: Re: [Tex-music] PMX 2.613 (was RE: all-staves transposition in PMX 2.610) Hello, I have tried to compile the source on my mac using gcc and gfortran, but I never get through: $$ pmx2613.for:735.72: call getarg(1,jobname,idum) !
