[rec.music.synth] Music Macros for TeX . .

) (11/14/90)

Hello everyone:

I was poking around the net again, only to find in SIMTEL's PD1:<MSDOS.TEX>
a file named MUTEX.arc which evidently contains Music Macros for Tex.

In case there are those who don't know wot Tex is, it is basically a typesetting
system, more for Postscript printers and the like.  All of it is available in
that directory anyways, so if you are interested, go there and find out more.

This would be good for those of you who need to get it all down on paper;
and make it look good, without going to a professional (besides yerself) :-)

Music with TeX?
This sounds great!  Do you have any more info like how to get
these macros?  I'm not very familiar with the net (yet).  I don't
even know what SIMTEL is.  Some elaboration would be appreciated.
			

			Thanks!

MusicTeX is so much better.

OK, where do we find it?  This is the first I've heard of anything but
MuTeX in the way of TeX macros for music.

Gee, that's nice..., hey everybody, there is something out there called
MusicTeX!  Michel, instead of wasting time and net bandwidth by simply being 
opinionated, how about explaining (for those who may not have heard of it)
what MusicTeX is and how it is better than Mutex.  Inquiring minds would like
to know (without having to beg).  Or is it that MusicTeX is not Public Domain
but rather proprietary to IRCAM, and therefore almost impossible for most
of us out here to obtain?
