Re: [Tex-music] prepmx failing on example document

[Dieter]

IF typesetting music with lyrics is your major concern,

I recommend to use PMX together with the package "musixlyr" (by 
RainerDunker).


Sample in the attachment.

However, I started using MusiXTeX and PMX in the meantime and did have quite
a hard time finding appropriate PMX example files for my particular needs.
E.g. the first example I became aware of that would be with lyrics, was
netsoos.pmx (it's mentioned in section 6.1 of the PMX manual), but since I
could not produce a netsoos.pmx from the netsoos.mtx I had to go on
searching for another example.

Note that netsoos.pmx uses the M-Tx lyrics system: everything is done by
inline TeX using macros from mtx.tex. There is nowadays a native PMX lyrics
system that does not require you to load mtx.tex

Re: [Tex-music] prepmx failing on example document

@Dirk Laurie: Thanks for the additional information! I actually didn't know so 
far that in netsoos.pmx it's done like this, as producing it did work the first 
time for me yesterday evening. I ended up with the native PMX lyrics system. 
But it's very good to know that the more complicated inline TeX variant was 
only used, because PMX didn't support lyrics back then. I would have made up 
another reason...

@Bob Tennent and Christian Mondrup thanks for the increadibly fast changes on 
the website! In my view they improve it.

Matthias

Re: [Tex-music] prepmx failing on example document

[Matthias Holländer]

Hello everyone,

I hope this ends up right as an answer to Benedict Wilde's question "prepmx failing on example document", since I don't literally answer, but manually type "Re:" in front of the question.


I had the same problem with M-Tx quite a while and wanted to try Benedicts solution. Before doing so I double-checked that the problem does still exist by first updating all LaTeX packages via MiKTeX Update (there was one for M-Tx as well, but no other MusixTeX stuff and no priority updates) and then running the example file. But, what a surprise, it worked. I also might only speculate on why. E.g. I remember the MiKTeX package manager not working anymore lately, now it does again. And because I had it with several other software as well that it worked on one computer running Windows 10 but not on the other, I guess the problem was some hardware - Windows 10 or maybe Windows 10 - LaTeX interference.

However, I started using MusiXTeX and PMX in the meantime and did have quite a hard time finding appropriate PMX example files for my particular needs. E.g. the first example I became aware of that would be with lyrics, was netsoos.pmx (it's mentioned in section 6.1 of the PMX manual), but since I could not produce a netsoos.pmx from the netsoos.mtx I had to go on searching for another example. I do think it would be a good idea to add netsoos.pmx, netsoos.tex, barsant.tex and quod2.tex to http://icking-music-archive.org/software/htdocs/Introduction.html#examples.

There is another detail on the WIMA website that made me grin quite a few times and I can't help mentioning it here: On the front page you state one would need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to be able to open pdf-files. I always thought it doesn't really fit to a website of an open source project :D.

Best,
Matthias

Re: [Tex-music] prepmx failing on example document

[Benedikt Wilde]

Hi everyone,

thank you all for your help. Everything seems to work properly now,
although I do not understand why:

I downloaded prepmx.exe from ctan and replaced the corresponding file in
the MiKTeX installation. After that, everything worked. However, it
still did after I restored the original executable. So.. who knows?
(It's hard to tell what the problem could have been now, since I can't
reproduce it anymore.)

Well, at least it works now.

Benedikt

The MikTeX update installs 32-bit executables by default.
If necessary, recover these files from
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/htdocs/
or in the / Executables_Win64 folder and copy the executables into

C: \ Program Files \ MiKTeX 2.9 \ miktex \ bin \ x64

The most likely explanation. Open a terminal, move to a
working folder containing netsoos.mtx and enter

  > prepmx netsoos

If this fails, it's likely that you need to install m-tx
and miktex-m-tx-bin (and possibly pmx and miktex-pmx-bin
as well). You might want to configure MiKTeX to install
packages on-the-fly; this isn't foolproof but often works.

Of course. I attached the mtx file.

Kannst Du wenigstens Deinen TEX- File an Deine Frage anhängen? So kann niemand eine vernünftige Antwort geben, weil niemand da Problem reproduzieren kann.

Betreff: [Tex-music] prepmx failing on example document

Hello everyone,

I have been wanting to start using MusiXTeX for some time now, but the
following error prevented me from doing so. I have searched for a
solution in various places online, but could not find any. Hopefully,
someone here can help me.

When I try to run musixtex on the example file netsoos.mtx from the
MusiXTeX site [1], I get the following output in the console

d:\folder>musixtex netsoos
This is musixtex.lua version 0.19.
==> This is M-Tx 0.63 (Music from TeXt) <7 January 2018>
!! prepmx preprocessing of netsoos.mtx fails.

and the program crashes.
The (rather unhelpful) content of musixtex.log is

This is musixtex.lua version 0.19.
Processing netsoos.mtx
prepmx netsoos
!! prepmx preprocessing of netsoos.mtx fails.

I am using MiKTeX on Windows 10.

Any ideas on what might be the problem?
(Note: I do not have a full MiKTeX installation. Could any missing
packages be causing this behavior?)

Thank you for your help

Benedikt


PS: Some time ago I posted a question about this on tex.SE [2]. Then, I
got the additional error message

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\scripts\musixtex\musixtex.lua:564: bad
argument #1 to 'write' (string expected, got nil)

This message is not present with the current version of musixtex (and
m-tx), but it may still be the same error.
