A music printing package for TeX has been developped at the Univ. of Bonn (West Germany) as a master thesis. It uses own fonts (made by METAFONT, of course) and the results are really nice. It was nearly finished, when Eric Foxley's article appeared in CACM. I got a preliminary version, where the input language processor isn't included. The work should be done by now. I'll contact Bonn and will report here.

I have a document by John Renner (adobe!renner@decwrl.dec.com) called "TeXtyl: a line-drawing interface for TeX" that mentions music typesetting. In the introduction is the statement "Advanced features of TeXtyl are for MusiCopy, the music-typesetting project at the Ohio State University[7], namely typesetting ties, slurs, and beams." The [7] references John S. Gourlay, "A Language for Music Printing." Communications of the ACM 29 5, (May 1986), pp. 388-401. Hope this helps!

As you might already know, DWB 2.0 preprocessors like eqn and pic do not look at the DESC.out file for the device characteristics. Instead, the supported devices (default only aps and i10) are listed in the source with their resolution. [ If you didn't know, just stop reading here a few seconds and cry !!! :-( ] Troff itself does read it, I think (I hope...). Does anyone having patches for DWB 2.0 so that the DESC.out file is read everywhere where it should be? There also seems to be a problem with the mmt command: only aps and i10 devices result in automatically calling the appropriate postprocessor (as is suggested by the manual page). For other devices the postprocessor d<devicename> should also automatically be invoked. Also a patch for this behaviour would be nice... -- -- ###### Jos Vos ###### Internet jos@idca.tds.philips.nl ###### -- ###### ###### UUCP ...!mcvax!philapd!jos ######

I've got a Sun and a HP Laserjet III. Troff supplied with the Sun
generates CAT commands. Is there a product which will turn this
directly into HPPL? If not, what's the cheapest way to get nicely
formated troff printed on my laserjet?
Please respond via e-mail. I'll post a summary.
