Hi, Simons, Don writes: > A preprocessor (Silas' program) for a preprocessor (M-Tx) for a preprocessor > (PMX) !!! Boggles the mind. Well the MuseData database contains several thousand scores in MuseData format, but the only programs that can actually typeset them run on an operating system that is practically unheard of outside Stanford University. So I thought it would be nice to convert them to something else. And M-Tx seemed easy enough (actually the main purpose of this project is to output Braille, but M-Tx output lets you see what's going on). > You specify the total number of > systems (and number of pages) and it will distribute everything nicely over > that number of systems Can there be any way to say "take as much space as you want"? I mean, without stretching things out rediculously. Or maybe some sort of heuristic for suggesting the number of systems to PMX? > It is very easy to iterate on the total number systems (and pages) > to find what looks best. Not if you're blind. Or if you have a slow computer.
