[comp.music] MusicTeX

mf@ircam.fr (Michel Fingerhut) (11/22/90)

It's on sol.cs.ruu.nl:TEX/musictex.tar.Z.

Its documentation is in its demos subdirectory, in two papers,
notice.tex (usage note in English) and gutenb90.tex (paper in
French; the author is french).

Does anyone out there know if there is a set of MUsic macros for troff?

OR

Could I use TEX macros and use a TEX to troff translator?

This could be a real cool idea.  Musical pages could be defined with text.
I like it.

Thanks in advance

                          ABSTRACT

          The music preprocessor  provides  a  language
     for  describing  music  scores,  which can then be
     processed to produce output suitable for the troff
     typesetting system and  its  other  preprocessors,
     which  run under the UNIX-operating system.   This
     document describes  the  basic  facilities availa-
     ble in the music preprocessor, and gives  examples
     of its use.
