Could somebody please re-post the information on obtaining the MTeX Users'
manual? I accidentally deleted my copy of that post.
And before anyone asks...
MTeX is a system developed for typesetting music. It only does single-staff
music and does not support grace notes and the like. It can be FTP'd from
submit/music on sun.soe.clarkson.edu (I don't think that it's available
via the archive server in that tree... I believe that Michael DeCorte is
still trying to figure out where it fits in with his current hierarchy
at the moment). It was originally developed in Germany and the internal
documentation is all in German. The example files print some music and
code to go with them. The code bares little resemblance to the code that
actually generates the output. As near as anyone can tell, it's "wishful
thinking" for what the authors _wanted_ the input to look like. It is
a kind of nice package anyway.
European Bitnet people can get it from listserv@dhdurz1
