Three packages containing platform-independent processing scripts for
MusiXTeX, PMX and M-Tx, respectively, have been installed at WIMA.
These are the same scripts that are included in the packages at CTAN
so if you've installed from CTAN or via package managers in derived

Dirk say:
We need something which can read PMX, M-Tx or ABC; convert it to
a central structure; from that central structure write PMX, M-Tx,
ABC, MusiXTeX, Lilypond, MIDI, etc.
Do we? Yes, there are several text-based formats for describing
music (MusiXTeX, PMX, M-Tx, ABC, PMW, LY, ... ). But

It produces besides its own music format and midi either NIFF od MusicXML

How can I generate a tiny treble clef for cue notes in MusiXTeX,
about half the size of \tinynotesize\smalltrebleclef?
