Hello,
This is why i use musixtex:
1. The ouputcode is very beautifull
2. There is a quality manual (and the versionnumber of musuxtex
is (still) smaller than the number of pages in the manual)
3. The support from the musixtex-list is amazing efficient
I have 2 silly problems:
Problem 1
This is a small problem that becomes big, because it lasts now for 2 years.
Anyone who like to tell me what i am doing wrong?
% the first line in bar 1 must be uncommented for
% the tenortransition ("8") to be in effect in the first system
\input musixtex

Problem 2
Some of the choral members wear glasses and like big characters.
But when using fonts of more than 12pt, the text zigzag, as can be
seen in the following code using the font \norm or \bigtype .
I have tried the tex-command \vphantom but i don't thing thats
the right solution for the problem
Anyone who knows a better way?
\input musixtex\input musixcho%
