M-Tx 0.50a has been uploaded to ftp.gmd.de.  Until such time as it
becomes visible to downloaders, you can also get it from 
  ftp://calvyn.puk.ac.za/dirk/mtx/mtx050a.zip
It is still based on PMX 1.3.8, despite my intention to wait for
PMX 1.4.  Two further bugs in 0.50 have been reported, and these
are irksome enough to justify a bug-fixing release.

The following bugs have been corrected:

1. The double-bar at the end of the piece got lost if you had the
   good habit of always coding bar lines.

2. If every line in the first music paragraph is labelled, that
   paragraph was regarded as an extra preamble paragraph, resulting
   in all sorts of weird diagnostic messages.

3. If you did not use the new Start feature, the start strings were
   not properly initialized.  In the case of the MSDOS executable
   this produced random garbage in the generated PMX file.  Executables
   made directly from the C code did not suffer from this bug.

4. The manual mistakenly mentioned \tinymusicsize as a possible music size.
