There is already a testversion with fully automatic beams. But it isn't ready yet. So the input will change, old pieces won't run. To avoid user mails like: Oh, it doesn't work anymore, it must be a bug... I decided to "hide" the unofficial version until V1.0 is reached and no more changes (not additions) will be done. If you, Robin, will answer these mails, then you can freely distribute it "regular". bye, andreas ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Have a look at section 2.20.7 (p. 77-83) of the MusiXTeX manual. Sorry, but you can't. It's a little more complicated, I know it, because I coded that (like MusiXTeX before). bye, andreas ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://icking-music-archive.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

You can add lyrics with MusiXTeX with the macros \zsong, \lsong and \csong. OpusTeX has some specific macros for Gregorian chant with lyrics. These are not available for MusiXTeX. I think it's possible with MusiXTeX, but it will be more work since you have to type more or make your own macros. I think a package for MusiXTeX which has the same macros as opusgre would have to be implemented nearly from scratch because of the incompatibilities between MusiXTeX and OpusTeX. Maybe opusgre is based on musixgre but it has a lot of new macros while musixgre seems to be in the state it was when OpusTeX separated from MusiXTeX.

[TeX-music] Gregorian chant: MusiXTeX?
Dear Guido, What seems me the most adequate in your situation is to convert the fonts of OpusTeX in Postscript. It is not too difficult to do this task with mftrace, a software that converts automatically fonts from metafont into type1.

[TeX-music] Gregorian chant: MusiXTeX?
Dear all, I normally use OpusTeX for Gregorian Chant because it is very effective, even if it seems to be a dead project right now. The problem is that now I am producing a book with musical examples, so I need real Postscript fonts because with bitmapped fonts the typesetter complains (file too big, slow download and so on...). Problems: (1) OpusTeX does not have Postscript fonts: right? (2) MusiXTeX has a package for Gregorian chant that is enough for the simple needs of this book: but how should one add words? With OpusTeX it's simple, as: \sgn et\punctum c\egn to write 'et' on a punctum. I have not found anything like that in the MusiXTeX manual.
