Hey, this sounds great :-). Which GUI toolkit did you use ?
Betatesting is ok for me, but I have not much time to test it, probably
only some hours a week. OTOH I can test on both Linux with UAE and on an
native Amiga with midi interface.

Finally I can reactivate my keyboard :-)

Are you directly using MusiXtex or do you translate to PMX before making
the .tex- File ?

Do you have a homepage with screenshots on it ? :-) I'd really like to see
the GUI :) (and the above question is obsolete, you are using MUI)

My System is A4000/040/40 28 MB RAM (yes 28 :), MUI (don't know which
version but quite recently), PasTeX, MusiXTeX up to now, installing
OpusTeX is no problem (except when it costs something... I'm out of money
for at least 1 year)

Of course I am and I know that some others are, too. With UAE tested,
nearly everyone should be able to use it. It would be good then to
be able to safe the file as TeX-File so I can compile it under Linux
(which would be faster..)
