[TeX-music] Coloured fugue progress report

2002-07-16 Thread bluebird
G'day All; I'm in the middle of typesetting the Cm Fugue from the 1st book of the WTC as a study score with coloured voices. Had a couple of hours space tonight and I've finished up to bar 7, still needs a bit of fine tuning and the coding style is *very* inconsistent as I'm learning MusixTeX wh

I've just finished my first real MusixTeX transcription, the first piece from Mauro Giuliani's 32 Pieces for Guitar, and I'd be very grateful to anyone who spares the time to have a look and send my any comments on the output or the musixtex source. I've decided to make a project out of this, and

G'day All, Thanks to everyone who helped my solve my last problem. I've come to a second stumbling block, I need to set an extra large font for each note, something like a 3cm character height ought to be about right, I'm using the postscript fonts by Takanori Uchiyama, so stupidly large fonts
