Dear all tex-musix users,
first of all, it is a real luck that such a software exists, thanks to its
author... and happily I feel to be part of the community.
I've sometimes downloaded classical music scores in PDF format from
http://imslp.org
, a great repository. Now, I wish there was something similar - not so big, of
course -, anyway a repository of tex-musix source files. The one at CTAN:
https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/doc/examples
Once in the 90's of the preceding century the late Werner Icking
(1943-2001) founded a web site, the 'GMD Music Archive' dedicated to
musixtex related software and to scores engraved with that software.
From 2001 until 2012 the site was actively maintained under the name
'Werner Icking Music Archive', WIMA, offering musixtex related software
and a large collection of scores, including musixtex engravings plus
scores engraved with many other software packages. WIMA's primary
publishing policy was to offer engraving files along with the PDF
scores. The maintenance of the score collection stayed a vulnerable
one-person task. Therefore I negotiated a merge with our sister project,
IMSLP, see http://icking-music-archive.org/IMSLP.php. The merge was
completed in summer 2012.
The complete WIMA collection incl. its engraving files is available in
IMSLP. WIMA offers a search facility allowing you to look up a.o.
engraving files. Enter a few suitable lower case words like some of
'musixtex', 'pmx', 'mtx', 'bach' in the text field near the upper right
corner of an IMSLP page and click the 'go' button. That'll help you to
find and access (zipped) engraving files which you may use as examples.
I second Don's suggestion to try out his PMX software. A related project
specifically useful for engraving vocal music is Dirk Laurie's M-Tx package.
Greetings
