Hi Dirk. >|André van Ryckeghem's edition of Schubert's Deutsche Messe etc
Presumably you're referring to http://imslp.org/wiki/Deutsche_Messe,_D.872_(Schubert,_Franz)#Complete for which PMX "engraving files" are available, >|uses "mupsviewle.bat" to make PS from MusiXTeX. That script is included in the archive. >|It would be trivial to translate it to "bash" but maybe >|now that we have Bob Tennent's system-independent >|lua-based scripts it is not necessary. It is not necessary; mupsviewle just runs tex, musixflx, tex, dvips and gsview. The same effect can be obtained on a modern installation by running musixtex -g and gsview. >|To my untrained eye, the results obtained by "musixtex" >|followed by "pdftops" look equally good. Or am I missing >|some subtle point? If you want a .ps, it would be better to run musixtex -g rather than using the musixtex script to produce a pdf and converting back to ps using pdftops. But is there any reason to produce a ps file rather than a pdf? musixtex -h will output a summary of the options available, with more details on the man page. Bob P.S. The source files are actually pmx files. The pmx2pdf script doesn't have a -g option, but that could easily be added if you really want ps rather than pdf. ------------------------------- 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
