I -- as surely everbody on this list -- was deeply shocked by the
sad news. My first reaction was that there should be some really
beautiful music put freshly into the WIMA (Werner Icking Music
Archive), in memory of Daniel Taupin; and immediately Mozarts
``Mauerische Trauermusik'' came to my mind: from what I know
about Daniel, it would be particularily appropriate for him.
I set down to begin this, and after several hours had produced
but one page; so I had to give up on this project for the time
being. The main reason why it is so difficult is that neither PMX
nor, alas, MusiXTeX provides for typesetting the many
`transposing' wind instruments in a complex score. The
``Mauerische Trauermusik'' (in c minor) has wind instruments
in C, in B flat, in F and in E flat, all therefore appearing
with different signatures) !
So the real monument to Daniel Taupin would be if someone would
invent a clever way to implement an orchestral transposition
notation with MusiXTeX. I don't think I can, so I put it up as a
challenge to whoever feels up to such a task!
