For that purpose I can't write nothing because my english dosen't allow it,
but I have some suggestions. I think that we have to emphasize that
musixtex, pmx and the other programs are like the language: important if
used and diffused. Werner make e very good work in that direction, not only
with the "hilfe", but with the example of the scores of his archive. From
there I (and I'm an humanist, not a computer-guru) learned the use of the
pmx and from there I learned how other people solve complicated typesetting
and musical problem. I think we are a little musical community and he was
the creator of it.

musicological questions, if needed.
