[comp.text.tex] mutex

gdtltr@toffee.it.udel.edu (Gary Duzan) (02/24/90)

   I have been trying to get MuTeX (music typesetting for TeX) running, but
have run into problems. Any help would be appreciated, but specifically I need
a printer description for PostScript to give to mf, and any help at all on
using mf. Thanx.

How can I force a linebreak in MuTeX ?

Look at the definition of |. Define a new macro omitting \thinvrule:
  \def\nobar{\gluebrule\gluearule} 
This gives Mutex a chance for a line-break, which is normally done only
when \| is encountered.

I used this solution for a piece which had no bars at all.

Anybody has a better solution? Hope this helps.

does mutex allow you to typeset sheet music (i.e. the output will look
EXACTLY like the sheet music the musicians play from)?
