Thanks! I will try their advice. Regards, Dieter Am 02.02.2012 13:39, schrieb Bob Tennent: I posted a request about this at miktex-us...@lists.sourceforge.net. Ulrike Fischer says: 1.

Re: [Tex-music] Musixtex-Installation, MikTex problem?
Hi Don, I find musix.map after running instmus.bat in the folders C:\Users\Dieter\AppData\Roaming\musixtexmf\dvips\config and in C:\Users\Dieter\AppData\Roaming\musixtexmf\dvipdfm\config. I did not move any files manually, apart from moving pmx.tex into C:\Users\Dieter\AppData\Roaming\musixtexmf\tex\generic\musixtex and pmxab.exe into the tools-folder. But this is of course not relevant for the problem at hand. The problem arises only when the MikTeX option has been set to ask for package installation on the fly. This is reproducible. When I say no to the installation pop-up, everything runs correctly to the end. I am convinced that this message is an artefact of MikTeX, because already version 2.8 had a problem with this option ask for package installation on the fly. Thanks and regards, Dieter Dieter, are you saying that without manually moving any files the installation does work (including dvips) once you turned off automatic MiKTeX installation? FYI the file is copied by the line xcopy %MUSIXTEXDIR%\dvips\musix.map %ROOT%\dvips\config\ in instmus.bat. Is that folder present? Is there a copy of musix.map in the folder? Is there another subfolder named fonts\map\dvips\musixtex? I've checked my hard drive; there's no subfolder dvips\musixtex but there is one dvips\config, it contains musix.map, everything works fine. --Don Simons -Original Message- From: tex-music-boun...@tug.org [mailto:tex-music-boun...@tug.org] On Behalf Of Dieter Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 3:31 AM To: Werner Icking Music Archive Subject: [Tex-music] Musixtex-Installation, MikTex problem? Hi, I have recently been installing musixtex 1.15 on a Win7 system following the automatized procedure of Andre and Don. Everything works fine, but when I call dvips from the command line, then MikteX 2.9 tells me: The required fonts\map\dvips\musixtex\musix.map is missing It is part of the following package: musixtex and wants to install something, which of course is nonsense. When I close the MikTex-dialoguebox, everything runs fine. Therefore I have set the MikTex-option of automatic installation of missing packages to no. Seems to be a problem of MikTeX.

Don: The current convention in both MiKTeX and TeXLive is to put dvips map files in fonts/map/dvips/package/ Presumably MiKTeX needed musix.map to run dvips and looked in fonts/map/dvips/musixtex because that's where its data base says the file would be. It then asked to install musixtex because it doesn't know Dieter has installed musixtex on his own. (BTW, in an updated MiKTeX system, the relevant package name would be musixtex-fonts.) I don't know how fussy MiKTeX is about locations of map files.

|FYI the file is copied by the line |xcopy %MUSIXTEXDIR%\dvips\musix.map %ROOT%\dvips\config\ |in instmus.bat. It's the line echo p +musix.map %ROOT%\dvips\config\config.ps that worries me. The file config.ps says at the top: %% config.ps: Dvips configuration file %% %% DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY! It will be overwritten. %% %% Run %% %% initexmf --edit-config-file dvips %% %% to edit Dvips configuration parameters. The recommended way to add a local map file is described here: http://docs.miktex.org/2.9/manual/advanced.html#psfonts updmap.cfg has a similar notice; one is supposed to use initexmf --edit-config-file updmap followed by initexmf --mkmaps Bob T. --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
