Where are you looking for the program? musixflx is a command-line
program, usually installed in /usr/local/bin. Open a Terminal
window (look in /Applications/Utilities or download iTerm, which
is an enhanced Terminal replacement) and type
which musixflx
That should tell you if/where the program is installed.
I have looked just everywhere, manually and also through spotlight
and Apple-F, for "musixtex" and now also for "/usr/local/bin"
without any result.
Neither Spotlight nor the Finder will locate /usr/local/bin. That's
something you also need to do via the Terminal
cd /usr/local/bin
ls
will tell you everything that installed in that directory.
I don't know what is a "command-line programm". Maybe being a
musician is not enough in this case? I have been using Macs for
long (since the 68K days with my 630), but know nothing about
programming, res-edit and the like.
This won't require ResEdit or any programming of that sort, but using
TeX (and by extension MusixTeX) requires making your mind work in a
different way.
I can download iTerm, but maybe I should first ask: where ist
MusixTex "supposed" to be once installed?
It will actually be installed in a couple of different places. Part
of it will go in your texmf tree, and some of it will go in /usr/
local/bin (or something similar).
And is a "command-line programm" something that "I" can use to
typeset music?
I don't know you well enough to answer that, but command-line
programs aren't really *that* difficult to use.
