I don't know about pdflatex, but my understanding is that "latex" invokes etex automagically.
Also, unless certain MusiXTeX commands are used or certain parameter values exceeded, I believe musixtex.tex 1.15 can be processed with ordinary tex. I suggest trying to compile the document the old fashioned way, first with tex (or etex), then dvips, then convert to a pdf with gsview or ghostscript or acrobat if you really need a pdf. I know it doesn't answer the original question, but whether it satisfies you depends on your objectives. Personally I'm very wary of any S/W that bypasses dvips, because I always use postscript slurs rather than font-based (as I would recommend to everyone), and they may not appear in the final output. --Don >-----Original Message----- >From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On >Behalf Of Roland Stigge >Sent: Monday, May 02, 2011 7:51 AM >To: Werner Icking Music Archive >Subject: Re: [Tex-music] Compile error in M-Tx documentation > >Hi, > >thanks for the fast reply! :-) > >On 05/02/2011 04:17 PM, Simon Dreher wrote: >>> upon compiling mtxdoc.tex (from latest m-tx 0.60d), I get the >following >>> error: >> [...] >>> pdflatex mtxdoc >> [...] >>> !
