Turns out you need to run the "advanced" install batch script to be able to select options. With the "minimal" scheme, augmented only by the "music typesetting" package, and with twice as fast a download speed (10 Mbps), that took ~10 min, downloading 14000 files, 300 MB.

I created folder c:/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/generic/pmx, moved pmx.tex there, and updated the filename database using the Windows GUI that had been installed in the start menu. pmx2pdf then worked just fine. So although not a dream, I'll grant that it was not too bad snooze. Still, a total novice would have been completely flummoxed. Would the fact that no one we know about had yet reported the mislocation of pmx.tex suggest that no one else (including the TeXLive developers) had ever tried installing and running pmx in Windoze from this version of TeXLive? --Don Simons ------------------------------- 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
