I installed the latest MikTeX on windowsxp and used the readme file (Takanori Uchiyama) from the musix_ps directory on the http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/ (mentioned as ZIP) Takanori Uchiyama gives an example of batch file to install
There are (for me) a few things to remember: 1. Miktex has the type 1 fonts in the distribution C:\texmf\fonts\type1\bluesky and C:\texmf\fonts\type1\public\musixps I think they propably are to be replaced by new ones. 2. the ligatures are replaced by a pound sign (in Latex) 3. the old: set PATH=c:\musixtex\pmx;c:\musixtex\mtx\prepmx;%path% in windows98 must be repaced in windowsxp or 2000 by a setting in: control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment. (thanks to helpful people on the list) 4. With the old(er) miktex i was able to install a musixtex.fmt with musixtex.tex in it (much faster) the install file musixtex.ins (edited from the distribution) was: ---- \input musixtex %\input musixcpt %\input musixsty \tracingstats=2\relax \dump ---- The initex batch file: ---- C:\texmf\miktex\BIN\INITEX.EXE &plain musixtex.ins pause copy musixtex.fmt C:\"Local TeXMF"\miktex\fmt del musixtex.fmt ---- and an example of use (in a batch file): ---- C:\texmf\miktex\BIN\VIRTEX.EXE &musixtex %1.tex ---- Now it should be possible to use the Miktex wizard start -> programs -> MiKTeX -> MiKTeX Option to add a format file i used these parameters: ---- compiler=tex description=musixtex input=musixtex.ins ---- but it did not worked out. I added a file '\input plain' in musixtex.ins but it does not help. Now i use TeX and edit all my (musix,pmx)files with the line \input musixtex Andre ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christian Mondrup" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "TeX-Music" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 10:51 PM Subject: [TeX-music] MiKTeX & MusiXTeX et. al. > Dear all. > > Today I've had the opportunity to install MiKTeX (v. 2.1) from scratch > on a win98 pc. > > Hereby I also got the chance to test whether my guidelines for first > time installation of MusiXTeX software on unix machines (see > http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/software/musixtex/musixtex-for-unix.h tml) > apply for MiKTeX as well.
