As far as I know, there exists no prefabricated versions of the MusiXTeX software for the MAC(technical jargon: no 'executables'), so 'installing' means compiling at least some of the MusiXTeX software, (musixflx, in particular) -- that may be some work! You should by all means check http://icking-music-archive.org/software/indexmt6.html There you will find SOME instructions, at least on how to compile the musixflx program on a MAC; Actually, that URL points you to the precompiled version of musixflx for Mac OS X: http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/musixflx.pkg.sit I know so little about the MAC that I dont even know whether a usable TeX system exists; but that can be found out quickly) There's an excellent TeX system for Mac OS X: http://www.tug.org/mactex/ (or a smaller version of parts of the above: http://ii2.sourceforge.net/tex-index.html) Steve ___ TeX-music mailing list TeX-music@icking-music-archive.org http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Open a Terminal window (look in /Applications/Utilities or download iTerm, which is an enhanced Terminal replacement) and type which musixflx That should tell you if/where the program is installed. I have looked just everywhere, manually and also through spotlight and Apple-F, for "musixtex" and now also for "/usr/local/bin" without any result. Neither Spotlight nor the Finder will locate /usr/local/bin. That's something you also need to do via the Terminal cd /usr/local/bin ls will tell you everything that installed in that directory. I don't know what is a "command-line programm". Maybe being a musician is not enough in this case? I have been using Macs for long (since the 68K days with my 630), but know nothing about programming, res-edit and the like. This won't require ResEdit or any programming of that sort, but using TeX (and by extension MusixTeX) requires making your mind work in a different way. I can download iTerm, but maybe I should first ask: where ist MusixTex "supposed" to be once installed? It will actually be installed in a couple of different places. Part of it will go in your texmf tree, and some of it will go in /usr/ local/bin (or something similar). And is a "command-line programm" something that "I" can use to typeset music? I don't know you well enough to answer that, but command-line programs aren't really *that* difficult to use.
