Re: [Tex-music] Installing PMX on a Mac
|The most complete manual on PMX, the |original italian one, has one section on Windows, one on Linux, nothing |on Mac OS X. The input language is the same for all systems. If you've installed pmx in TeXLive, you should have manuals pmxab.html and scor2prt.htrml for using the two PMX processors, and pmx2pdf.html for a script that automates all the passes and deletes intermediate files. If you do texdoc -l pmx, you'll get a list of all the documentation available for PMX. |So I???ve downloaded the pmxab.dat file. But what do I do |next ? How do I tell my TeX editor to preprocess with PMX ? I'm not aware of any file pmxab.dat. How can we help you with your TeX editor if you don't tell us which TeX editor you're using? If you know how to tell it how to process .tex files, tell it to use pmx2pdf.

Re: [Tex-music] Installing PMX on a Mac
| I'm not aware of any file pmxab.dat | | Well, Don Simons is, and in his answer on that mailing list he advised me | (mistakenly it seems) to download that file Hmm. Indeed, there is such a file under MacBinaries and it seems I'm responsible for it. I'm not sure how it acquired the inappropriate .dat extension. But on a recent TeXLive system, you should have an executable pmxab already installed. And a pmx2pdf script that will be easier to use. | How can we help you with your TeX | editor if you don't tell us which TeX editor you're using? | | I???m using TexShop (version 3.11) on Mac OS 10.8. | | If you know how to tell it how to process .tex files, tell it to | use pmx2pdf. | | Is it mandatory to use the command line, or can I change something in | the preferences for example | to include PMX in the drop-down menu containing Plain TeX,XeLaTeX etc. You'll have to consult the documentation for TeXShop or wait for a TeXShop user to assist you. But I suggest you just this once use the command line to verify that everything works before you configure TeXShop.
