my wife (a music teacher) swears by sibelius 7 -- the last version for the arm processor before they bowed to market forces and switched to widnoze. she runs the widnoze version 6 now. > contains a new enhanced layout tool - most recently I typeset > 300 bars of 5 and 6 part early music (voices + lyrics, running translation, > clefs and incipits but no piano parts.

Is that possible with PMX? interesting. watching my wife compose, i've long thought it impossible to achieve better, even with a decent high-level markup like pmx, and i was amazed by jill-jen's assertion. of course, wife wouldn't be faster with pmx, since she types two-fingered (i don't understand it: she plays and harmonises on the fly, without looking at the keyboard). robin (who's never written out anything substantial since musictex was superseded by musixtex.) _______________________________________________ tex-mu...@icking-music-archive.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://mailman.nfit.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music
