[Tex-music] Issues with M-Tx
I'm trying to do some work with M-Tx and running into problems. I've changed computers since the last time I used it, and am now running 64-bit Windows. I think M-Tx may be included in the PMX package in the TeX repository, but I haven't installed it from there, worried that it might upset my working PMX installation. Instead I manually downloaded mtxP060d.zip from the Icking archive and just extracted prepmx.exe from there. I ran it on the following, copied directly out of the M-Tx manual : == Title: Net soos ek is Composer: Charlotte Elliott Style: SATB Sharps: 2 Meter: 3/4 Space: 9 %% w190m f f f | e2s e4 | f2 b4 | a2d | g4 g g | f2 f4 | g2 c4n | b2d | d d d | d2r d4r | d2 d4 | d2d | e4 e e | d2s d4 | e2 f4 | f2d | L: 1.

I made that file by highlighting and copying the text from an Acrobat screen view of the M-Tx manual, pasting into WinVi, and saving as I normally do. The first character of the file is Hex54 (T) as expected. I haven't tried a hand-made file but I'm 99% sure I'd get the same result. I thought the problem might possibly be that the binary executable might be incompatible with the 64-bit Windows OS. --- 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

Hi Don, I don't knok why, but I think you have to leave a blank line in this way: == Title: Net soos ek is Composer: Charlotte Elliott Style: SATB Sharps: 2 Meter: 3/4 Space: 9 %% w190m f f f | e2s e4 | f2 b4 | a2d | g4 g g | f2 f4 | g2 c4n | b2d | d d d | d2r d4r | d2 d4 | d2d | e4 e e | d2s d4 | e2 f4 | f2d | L: 1.

Does your zipfile extractor have an option to convert text files to local format? Otherwise, if your system does not use plain Ctrl-M end-of-lines, netsoos.mtx might not be read correctly. --- 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
