[comp.text.tex] MuTeX and multiple staffs.

I am faced with typesetting a 600 page book with approximately 60 pages
(total) of music.

I got MuTeX by ftp from relay.cdnnet.ca [192.73.5.1], by Andrea
Steinbach and Angelika Schofer.  (Apparently they did the work as a
Master's project at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University.  If
anyone has any address, email or otherwise for them, please pass it on
to me.)

MuTeX's major limitation (at first glance) is that it can only typeset
single-staff music.  I'm interested in hearing about any work on
extending MuTeX to multiple-staff music (even two would be a big
improvement!), or, indeed, from anyone who has tried to use MuTeX at
all.  Or about alternatives to MuTeX.  Or whatever.

I will pass on whatever information I get to anyone who wants it.

Thanks.
