Re: [Tex-music] Lyrics and Chord Symbols
Sorry, in my previous mail I picked up some older version of "Ave
verum.pmx".
You can now try to sing this one.
MusixLyr has been originally developed for MusixTex.
The fact that it works seamlessly with PMX shows how well Rainer and Don
have crafted their software.
Have a look at Rainer's documentation. It is a pleasure to read.
Regards,
Dieter

Dieter's attached PDF file has the same "???", so it seems to be a
problem in the PMX source.
I guess there is a missing '_' in the lyrics or something wrong with
the notes (missing tie?) at "na-tum". Compare with

Dieter, thanks for this example! It make me smile to be able to run this through my baby and have something legible come out the other end on the first try.

(despite it being taken over by a company of corporate s). i have a friend who uses a different sort of program, and she too is loath to leave it ... and she's a computer scientist and occasional latex user. --- 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
Re: [Tex-music] Lyrics and Chord Symbols
Hi Simon,
although your problem seems to be solved, I wonder why nobody mentioned
the possibility to directly use MusiXLyr (from Rainer Dunker) together
with PMX.
Sample included.

Am 12.01.2015 um 20:52 schrieb Simon Dreher:
Hi Simon,
after searching the WIMA for several days I
understood so far, that the proper way of
typesetting music including lyrics is using M-Tx.
I did not find a way to add chord symbols
to my sheet of music via M-Tx so far.
M-Tx is quite convenient for music with lyrics - but it is also not too
difficult to do the same stuff directly in pmx. You can just take a
piece written in M-Tx, compile it to pmx and see the few lines defining
the lyrics part (with musixlyr definitions - it is quite easy to learn
from the pmx file), if you already know and like pmx.
Is it possible to do so by M-Tx or do I have to
write my music and lyrics in M-Tx, compile the
*.mtx-file to *.pmx and add the chords
"by hand" into the *.pmx-file (i.e. using pmxchord)?
Usually, you can use any pmx commands in M-Tx files - nearly all
commands that M-Tx doesn't understand are just passed to pmx. I like the
header parts and the lyrics definitions of M-Tx more than the ones of
pmx :-) But it's just a matter of taste...
Best regards,
Simon
