The new look is now on-line at WIMA. Thanks to Don, Christian and Dirk
for their assistance. For now, the underlying organization is unchanged
and all links should still work. In particular, the archive files can be
accessed via the link in the Archive section or directly via

http://icking-music-archive.org/software/

The old index page is also accessible via a link in the Archive section.

Suggestions for improvements and corrections will be welcomed.

[Tex-music] Lua processing scripts installed at WIMA

2013-01-12 Thread Bob Tennent
Three packages containing platform-independent processing scripts for
MusiXTeX, PMX and M-Tx, respectively, have been installed at WIMA.
These are the same scripts that are included in the packages at CTAN
so if you've installed from CTAN or via package managers in derived
distributions such as TeXLive or MiKTeX, you won't need these. 

Included in the script packages are documentation and wrapper batch
scripts for use in Windows. The musixtex-scripts package includes
musixflx.lua, which is a platform-independent replacement for musixflx.c
and the platform-dependent binaries derived from it.

This is mostly new material. The existing material at WIMA will be

I'm hoping to get comments and suggestions on the material and the

you have a qualifying friend, please turn them loose on it, or even try
it yourself :


As a steady user of PMX, I often make use of the PMX history record (a
few lines of the changes in version 2.xxx, 2.xxy and sop on)
that was available in the old WIMA software page.

Where is that now ? or is it no longer available ??

 here:
 
 http://linus.cs.queensu.ca/software/

I have installed MiKTeX on Windows 7 (just for interest, normally I use Linux-
Opensuse 12.2 for pmx and m-tx) following the instructions you have given.

musixtex quod works fine
pmx2pdf barsant - pmx2pdf not found
m-tx netfirst - This is m-tx.lua version04 prepmx not found
pmxab not found
pmx barsant - the Luascript could not be found, scripts/pmx/pmx.lua

 out potential lacunae in the instructions.
 
 I haven't gotten my hands on a Mac for testing the MacTeX instructions
 yet but I expect to get a loaner soon.
