Jan Nieuwenhuizen points out that the uk tug faq entry for music
typesetting is lamentably out of date.  my problem with updating it is
that i hardly ever typeset music any more (there are two music
examples in one document i occasionally update, and that's it).

my own view is that we could presumably drop reference to andreas
egler's musixtex, but the way that the faq is structured prevents me
from making a `normal' reference to his opustex.  i would like to add
reference to current preprocessors-of-choice (it only references
abc2mtex at present), and the (at least two) graphical music editors
that speak tex.

sadly, i'm incompetent to write any of the text required: hence this
message asking for help.

so anyone who would like to offer a replacement entry, or would like
to offer bits of text describing things omitted, is urged to send
stuff along to me (best at [EMAIL PROTECTED], which filters off into
the right area for response).

the present entry may be seen at

yes, i know it's wrong in several respects ... not least, simply
because it's so old (it looks, from the changelog, as if i last worked
on that question in june 1995!).

the source is in latex, so html additions create trouble for me --
please don't do that if you want to speed things up ;-)
