[Tex-music] pmx280 beta

2017-03-22 Thread Bob Tennent

Don Simons has produced a beta of pmx280. The Preface of the
manual summarizes the changes, the most significant being
2-note tremolos. Please test this new feature and, if you
have pmx scores, compile them with this version to check
compatibility.

Dieter: Use musixec (or musixplt or musixtmr, ... ) to
output accented characters in a T1-encoded font and 

luatex --output-format=dvi 

as the processor that can deal with utf-8 encoded input
files.

[Tex-music] UTF8 and MusiXTeX

2017-03-22 Thread Dieter

Good Morning,

you may have noticed, that I published on the WIMA page a converter from 
MusicXML to PMX, called XML2PMX.


The XML stuff is all  coded in UTF8. When I have chants with German 
lyrics with Umlaut (äöüß), I have to manually translate to the TeX 
abbreviations like \"{o} etc.


Of course I could try to automatize this process. But I would prefer, 
when MusiXTeX would function with UTF8. With LaTeX you can load  a UTF8 
encoding package, but with TeX I have not heard of such a thing.


Anybody got an idea about the feasibility?

Regards,
Dieter
