Re: [Tex-music] Uploading to IMSLP?????
Den 20.01.2022 kl. 19.49 skrev dsim...@roadrunner.com: Wonder of wonders, the 6 files now appear to be publicly accessible. Somehow, the two tabs (“Scores” and “Parts”) have now been combined into one (“Scores and Parts”). That's because IMSLP staff member Sallen112 has done his approval job and besides post-edited the work page And the first main header under that one tab is misleading: it says “Complete” while all it contains is harpsichord parts (in facsimile). I suppose it is a complete set of harpsichord parts, but still… In the context of a collection like this the IMSLP term 'Complete' denotes, that all the suites and concertos of the collection are included. The two next sections include convertos and suites only. To be safe, I’ll try to wait a day or 2 before announcing the upload to all of my flute- and harpsichord-playing friends. I do feel pretty good about making these unusual pieces available. As soon as the 'waiting for approval' IMSLP mark has been removed you may safely announce your contribution to your friends.

IMSLP may decide that the score+parts for the individual concerts should
be located in separate pages as they are not really organized as a
"collection". But then there should be links to those concert pages in
the General Information section. An arrangement of Concert 1 (TWV 42:D6)
is already linked that way.
An example on distributing single pieces from a collection to separate
IMSLP work pages could be 'Newe Weinacht Liedlein mit 4 und 8 Stimmen'
by Leonard Schröter
https://imslp.org/wiki/Newe_Weinacht_Liedlein_mit_4_und_8_Stimmen_(Schr%C3%B6ter%2C_Leonhard)
If you select the menu item 'Page->Edit' you can see how to create
references from the collection work page to the work pages of the single
pieces.
I encourage marking PMX/MusiXTeX editions like this as members of
IMSLP's Werner Icking Collection. You do that by adding the IMSLP template

But please notice that you do NOT pay for any IMSLP score. The IMSLP membership was introduced some years ago with the aim of funding the operating costs of IMSLP.

If that had been successful we'd most likely have met a similar need for funding assistance. The WIMA server is still alive, hosting the MusiXTeX software.

I don't agree that a separate repository would have that desired effect. And setting up the infrastructure and maintaining the meta-data would be massive. As Christian has said, it'll never happen. Even setting up a suitable "gallery" of *links* to musixtex-based scores at IMSLP would be hard. Jean-Pierre's suggestion is a good one: ask IMSLP to set up "typeset with MusiXTeX" as a tag. I've contributed dozens of scores to IMSLP but I would be willing to tag them.

Bob I got quite a few reactions on my question to tex-l...@tug.org on TEXMFHOME and TEXMFHOME, the most important from Reinhard Kotucha: By default there is no ls-R file in TEXMFHOME and TEXMFHOME is not in TEXMFDBS. This is intentional because the number of files in TEXMFHOME is relatively small and a database lookup is not necessary. As a result, there is no need to run mktexlsr whenever you add new files and this is the main reason for the default settings. I don't know what created the ls-R file though. I recommend to remove it and as well as the entries in texmf.cnf you made. There will be no noticeable speed improvement unless you have hundreds of files in in TEXMFHOME. If you add something to 2020/texmf.cnf and forget to copy this file to 2021/texmf.cnf next year you run into trouble and it's not always easy to find out what goes wrong. If you _have_ a lot of files in TEXMFHOME you can consider to move then to TEXMFLOCAL if possible. That would avoid a customized setup and all the trouble it causes. Please note that TeX Live never touches anything in TEXMFLOCAL. Your files are as save there as in TEXMFHOME. Eventually I chose to keep my TEXMFHOME and delete its ls-R file.

If any of the new engravings are prepared with musixtex they can't just be moved to another context. It would require quite heavy Wikimedia template programming to tag musixtex engravings such that they could be looked up as a separate group. Provided a suitable template were provided then IMSLP staff members or volunteers capable of editing work pages would need to look up all musixtex engravings (using the IMSLP Google search facility) and mark the software files (if present). I'm afraid that'll never happen.

Re: [Tex-music] TeXLive 2020
Den 13.04.2020 kl. 15.08 skrev Bob Tennent:
TeXLive 2020 has been officially released. It is not possible to
upgrade an earlier version but TeXLive 2020 can be installed in
parallel with an older version.
The 2020 release provides
musixtex (1.30) pmx (2.94 2020-03-20) M-Tx (0.63c) autosp
(2019-12-22)
for 16 platforms, including MacOSX and Windows (but Windows users
may find MiKTeX to be more convenient).
You can find installation instructions at WIMA:
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/htdocs/Getting_Started_Four_Scenar.html
To delete an existing TeXLive installation
tlmgr remove -all
Thank you so much, Bob, for your thorough explanation of the
installation procedure.
Maybe my question is too technical. I ask on the list anyway.
Among the new tlmgr features is
New option tlmgr check texmfdbs, to to check consistency of ls-R
files and !! specifications for each tree
(see https://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#news)
I took the opportunity to check the validity of my own TeX setup and
was made aware of a flaw: my TEXMFHOME was
'in TEXMF not in TEXMFDBS, but has ls-R file'.
So I checked the variable TEXMFDBS in
/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf and realized that my
TEXMFHOME was not reflected. I'm a little surprised because I did
specify my TEXMFHOME when I started installing texlive-2020.
My workaround was to copy the assignment of TEXMFDBS to
/texlive/texmf.cnf and add my TEXMFHOME
TEXMFDBS =
{!!$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFDIST}
This solved the problem. But the idea of my local texmf.cnf is that it
'should contain only your personal changes from the original texmf.cnf'
Could I have added my TEXMFHOME to TEXMFDBS otherwise, ie. without
repeating the already existing assignment?
Best regards

'f2c' is indeed distributed with linux mint 19.3 based on Ubuntu 18.04 bionic On Fedora 30 I have used the following command: 'f2c -g -\!bs < pmx294.for > pmxab.c' The compilation returned me only one warning message: 'Warning on line 11244: local variable gotclef never used' There was no problem with compiling via 'gcc' with the command: gcc pmxab.c -lf2c -lm -o pmxab It happens nearly the same with 'scor2prt': f2c -g -\!bs < scor2prt.for > scor2prt.c 'Warning on line 783: local variable dumq never used' As far as I could see, 'pmx294' works well. Compiling pmx294.for with f2c and gcc in my Ubuntu 18.04 based environment completes with no errors and warnings. The compiled binary doesn't work, however. When I launch it on a pmx files I get no output at all - no error messages, no output file. Contrarily a binary compiled with gfortran from pmx294.for works perfectly.

Re: [Tex-music] Octave treble clef
On 2018-05-21 15:48, David Allsopp wrote: The ideal would be for MusiXTeX to be capable of treating it in both ways - as an alternate symbol *or* as an actual clef in its own right. For example, in the singing example Dirk gives of a descant sung by either Soprano or Tenor, the alternate symbol for treble clef is the appropriate route (so middle C remains below the bottom of the stave; as it happens, it would be more common in printed vocal music to use a bracketed (8) treble clef for this). However, for a large-ranged alto part which may begin in normal treble clef but then switch to octave "tenor" clef later, the position of middle C really should alter from being below the stave to being on it. At that point, you want to be able to select the octave treble clef as a genuine clef. One example of wide range parts is (some movements from) 'Die Kunst der Fuge' by J. S. Bach (BWV 1080). This is where MusiXTeX et al fell short in my project on providing a 'contemporized' edition based on the PMX engraving by the late Werner Icking. https://imslp.org/wiki/Die_Kunst_der_Fuge,_BWV_1080_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)#Complete_3#504803 In a context like that it's crucial that the treble- and treblelowoct clefs are handled as separate clefs regarding default octave and clef changes between the two. Eventually I gave up my initial M-Tx/PMX coding in favour of another open source engraving solution, MUP. I agree with Don that a regular treblelowoct clef must be added to MusiXTeX in order to get a working PMX engraving of music like BWV1080.

If you had posted this earlier, I probably would not have bothered to alllow F in M-Tx. As it stands, I have not seen my way open to documenting precisely what happens. The GitHub version of the M-Tx manual only says: "Consult the PMX documentation for the difference between `D` and `F` (or experiment and see for yourself)." I for my part highly appreciate the M-Tx support for F tuplets. It simplifies the engraving of the 18th century way of notating dotted note groups as 2+1 tuplets.

Don, creating yet more work for an already overworked man is the last thing I wish to do. I was hoping that people who regularly use PMX could help me with a feature newer than say 15 years old, since that is more or less the snapshot of PMX that got frozen into M-Tx. André's recent exhibition of virtuosity opened my eyes to the existence of PMX users that operate on a noticably higher plane than I do. As for this piece, I have decided that the original composer should have doubled all note lengths and made four-bar phrases. It looks ever so much better that way, allowing more flexible line breaks too. Fortunately the operation involved little more in the M-Tx source than telling the editor to replace all 4's by 2's, all 8's by 4's and all 1's by 8's, in that order! I'm using another text input engraver, MUP having this beaming approach: Rather than presuming a 'standard' beaming for a meter MUP lets all notes be default unbeamed. The user may declare beaming patterns on score, staff and voice levels. A staff level beaming overrules the score level beaming for the staff in question, and a voice level beaming overrules the staff level beaming. You are free to change beaming patterns where you want. A meter change cancels all declared beaming patterns. Maybe PMX and M-Tx could have a similar, additional beaming feature?

Well, of course anything is possible with MusiXTeX, since all of

line segments below the staff.
\zchar{-6}{\vrule height0pt depth10pt width0.5pt
\vrule height-9.5pt depth10pt width8\elemskip
\vrule height0pt depth10pt width0.5pt}%
I inserted it into the .tex file made by `musixtex -t mozart`
from the source `mozart.mtx` that comes with M-Tx and
then `musixtex mozart.tex` gives the attached result.
Converting the above ad-hoc construction to a convenient
macro is left as an exercise for the reader.
Another approach to line drawing for pedal marks etc. is the use of
postscript specials through pstricks. An example is my modern edition of
a 5-part madrigal by Orazio Vecchi, 'Gioite tutti'
http://imslp.org/wiki/Gioite_tutti_(Vecchi,_Orazio)
where I apply pstricks line drawing to implement marks for mensural

'MyMacros.tex' found in the zip file

You may pick out any old pmx version from http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/ The arpeggio bug has been there ever since 2.507 (May 2005). It only shows up when the arpeggio extends from one voice to another within a single staff. There is no problem when it stays in one voice, or goes from one staff to another. It was caused when I changed the call to the routine that draws the symbol so that it used voice number rather than staff number to index the starting and ending notes. The logic in 2.506 and before checked whether the indices referred to the same STAFF and assumed if they didn't, it was going from one staff to another. Not changing anything within the subroutine, in 2.507, if the start and end were in different VOICES, it applied the same logic, and messed up if the voices were in the same staff. I suppose it's not too surprising that no one had picked this up in 10 years. I think I have it solved but am waiting to post the corrected version until I see if there are more bug reports, and until I decide what to do about the M-Tx multi-bar rest issue. There was one other issue with the Humoresk file. The midi command had two 'pi" entries after the sound change option "i" : It56ipipi. The later PMX versions also choke on this because I changed the syntax somewhere along the way to where each sound change option refers to an INSTRUMENT rather than a staff. And Christian had called for a single instrument with two staves. I don't think I want to make any changes there...unlike the other problem it can be fixed simply be deleting one of the "pi"s I was aware of that - and agree about how to fix the problem Happy New Year to all -- Christian Mondrup WIMA: Werner Icking Music Archive http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:WIMA_files --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

There are some silly typos in musixtex.tex version 1.18 that prevent processing of title.tex; the error message will claim that \normppff is undefined. I'll fix this ASAP but if you don't want to wait, either revert to version 1.17 or remove the spurious 'g' characters appended to \ppff... commands near the end of the definition of \comput@fonts. there are also 'g' characters appended to the definitions of \meternorfont\ etc above the definitions of \ppff etc I've also found that the C version of prepmx version 0.61 segfaults on melisma1.mtx; presumably the Pascal version doesn't. prepmx doesn't segfault on my mint 17.2 laptop as compiled with fpc This will be hard to track down. Version 0.60 seems to be okay. And finally, I'm finding that the music examples in the final pdf output are scrunched left, as if there hasn't been a musixflx pass. But if I watch the pdf file, I can see the music is first scrunched, then properly spaced, and finally scrunched again. I don't know why.

Well, 'title' is listed in "mtxdoc = ..." in buildmtxdoc.lua, so
'title.tex' should be made from 'title.mtx'.

it doesn't. The only similar output I see is

musixlyr works by redefining the `\writ@note` macro.
The original macro is saved as `\orig@writ@note`.
All spacing notes sooner or later get to `\writ@note`.
I've frequently been using \metron in my modern editions of mensural
notation early music sources for indicating tempo relations at
transitions between tempus perfectum and tempus imperfectum. As example

Re: [Tex-music] musix-tex sources repositories?
Rodolfo Medina wrote: Dear all tex-musix users, first of all, it is a real luck that such a software exists, thanks to its author... and happily I feel to be part of the community. I've sometimes downloaded classical music scores in PDF format from http://imslp.org , a great repository. Now, I wish there was something similar - not so big, of course -, anyway a repository of tex-musix source files. The one at CTAN: https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/doc/examples Once in the 90's of the preceding century the late Werner Icking (1943-2001) founded a web site, the 'GMD Music Archive' dedicated to musixtex related software and to scores engraved with that software. From 2001 until 2012 the site was actively maintained under the name 'Werner Icking Music Archive', WIMA, offering musixtex related software and a large collection of scores, including musixtex engravings plus scores engraved with many other software packages. WIMA's primary publishing policy was to offer engraving files along with the PDF scores. The maintenance of the score collection stayed a vulnerable one-person task. Therefore I negotiated a merge with our sister project, IMSLP, see http://icking-music-archive.org/IMSLP.php. The merge was completed in summer 2012. The complete WIMA collection incl. its engraving files is available in IMSLP. WIMA offers a search facility allowing you to look up a.o. engraving files. Enter a few suitable lower case words like some of 'musixtex', 'pmx', 'mtx', 'bach' in the text field near the upper right corner of an IMSLP page and click the 'go' button. That'll help you to find and access (zipped) engraving files which you may use as examples. I second Don's suggestion to try out his PMX software. A related project specifically useful for engraving vocal music is Dirk Laurie's M-Tx package.

There are indeed problems in the xml lyrics: lots of missing hyphens and obviously wrong words like 'io-fty', bar 11 soprano.

I would overwrite Biebricher's sheets on IMSLP with the corrected ones; remove the .pmx and .tex archives; and upload a lilypond .zip in their place. Of course the current uploads will stay in the IMSLP archives.

When publishing his editions he did not, however, provide his scripting files along with the resulting pmx- and tex- files. So you need to imagine the programming steps he may have taken. Rutger Hofman wrote: Yes, I compared to 1052 (hpsd). One really obvious one that I double and triple-checked: Biebricher has a missing measure in mvt 1, bar 72.

There's no doubt that Cristof per accidence missed one of the 2 E minor bars 71-72. There's also very little doubt that J.S.Bach wrote his music around these bars with 2 bar periods in mind. Hence a performance with bar 72 missing is going to be musically unsatisfying.

Dirk Laurie wrote: It is possible that some members of this list have not recently visited WIMA http://icking-music-archive.org itself. There is a discussion on the future of WIMA that we should be aware of. I encourage Tex-Music subscribers to participate in that discussion. Let me emphasize, though, that the discussion is primarily focussed on WIMA's sheet music activities: they're increasingly vulnerable with just one, not that young person, yours sincerely, as manager. In order to have WIMA's score collection maintained in the long run we _must_ transform WIMA into a fully collaborative project. WIMA's software activities are on a much more modest level. I have my hands full with the score activities and hence participate only sparsely in the management of the MusiXTeX related activities. Luckily there is a group of persons taking responsibility with Don as a highly competent 'boss'. I don't see any urgent need for changing the web interface of the MusiXTeX WIMA interface like that under discussion for the score collection. But maybe WIMA's MusiXTeX section could benefit from a 'modernization'. Please feel to comment on that in the new WIMA forum, http://forums.icking-music-archive.org/index.php Concerning this mailing list we should definitely make no changes after TUG (TeX User Group) has taken over the hosting.

In the meantime, some very interesting programming languages have become available. The above job, and indeed everything currently done by PMX and M-Tx, is miles easier in Python than in Fortran or Pascal. (Actually, this job can also be done by even a primitive text editor.) Python can also take care of the whole tex-musixflx-tex cycle. If there are any programmers on the list who would be interested in a Python project for an updated M-Tx, please e-mail me so that we don't have yet another one-person effort. I certainly support the idea of converting M-Tx to a collective software development project. I've done some patches through the past years to accommodate M-Tx to my needs - and will happily leave the maintenance to others. I have a minor reservation for the python idea, though. It's a scripting language like perl requiring a python interpreter installed. Unless python supports generation of stand-alone binaries I foresee difficulties for Windows users not familiar with software installation.

Hi all,
would it be possible to change in a score the number of staves within
a system? I had this problem a few years ago and solved this problem
by using an individual mtx-file for each group of systems with the
same number of staves, making eps-files and combine these files by
LaTeX's icludegraphics. Maybe there is another more convenient method?
Even in MusiXTeX I don't know how to do this. May you could study this
thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music@mailman.nfit.au.dk/msg02177.html
and adapt this paragraph:
\off{6pt} % hard space
\roffset{2}{\psframe[linestyle=none,fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=white](0pt,4\internote)(6pt,14\internote)}%
to put some white paint on the staff portions you don't want to see. Are
you with TeX or LaTeX?
Another approach is to use psfig for including eps files into a plain
TeX master script, something like
\input psfig.sty
\psfig{file=my_page.eps}
The vertical positioning of the included eps file may be tweaked by
applying \lower or \raise on the \psfig expression, something like
\lower 7mm\psfig{file=my_page.eps}
If the number of staffs don't change within pages, then a simple and
efficient method is to merge pdf pages using the utility pdftk,

[TeX-Music] TeX-Music moves to the new WIMA server
Dear all. TeX-Music is going to be moved from its current hosting at DAIMI to the new WIMA server. Please don't post new messages to the list until the move has been completed. A message will be sent to you with the required instructions (if any) to re-activate your TeX-Music membership.

[TeX-Music] WIMA has been restored on a new server
Dear all. This afternoon the restore of WIMA on a new server localized in California, USA, has been completed. It'll last about 24 hours until name servers world wide have adapted to the IP number (that's technical talk) of the new server. Then WIMA will be accessible on its current web address, http://icking-music-archive.org/ The cost of the new server is sponsored by an IT company in my home town Arhus, Denmark; a company providing IT services for cultural institutions like The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, the school of music which hosted WIMA from 2003 til 2007. Massimo Capozza has generously undertaken the restore operations. Massimo is owner of Choralia, a site providing training aids for choral singers, and IT manager for CPDL, The Choral Public Domain Library. Massimo will also manage future server side hosting operations. The Choral Public Domain Library provides the vital backup of WIMA data on another server owned by CPDL. WIMA opens with an unchanged user interface; you'll hardly experience any difference. It is my long term plan, though, to migrate WIMA to a MediaWiki site having a user interface closely related to that of CPDL (and IMSLP, The International Music Score Library Project). WIMA and CPDL will remain independent, distinct sites. I expect, however, that related site technologies will facilitate a closer cooperation between WIMA and CPDL, thereby reducing the vulnerability of WIMA. Unfortunately this means that we have to set aside an ambitious development of WIMA2, a fully database driven, fully searchable WIMA interface. Martin Packham, long term WIMA contributor, has spent 2 years of invaluable efforts in that project. Hopefully the planned MediaWiki interface can benefit from insight and knowledge gained through that project. Massimo Capozza has created a new bulletin board frame work for discussion of various WIMA issues like the preparation of a future MediWiki interface. Within short I'll add links to the bulletin boards and encourage you to join the preparations for the future WIMA. When WIMA reopens I must be prepared for errors caused by the restore. So I'll need a period for consolidating WIMA on its new server. In this period I'll not add new scores to WIMA. When I'm confident with the restore I'll add new upload instructions to WIMA's welcoming page.

Re: [TeX-Music] any new developments?
Frederic Rzewski wrote: This is just one of many similar messages I'm getting... I guess you can imagine how many messages I get from frustrated WIMA users. I collect their email addresses and have posted a status mass mail a couple of times. As it looks now it's still most likely that CPDL will be WIMA's future partner. I've also got at least one qualified proposal from one of the highly profiled US university music sites, http://www.library.unt.edu/music which I knew beforehand for its fine quality facsimiles Besides I get hosting proposals from various IT companies offering to host WIMA at no cost. So I can hardly doubt that WIMA _will_ eventually get up and running.

Unfortunately this has suddenly stopped. A few hours ago the DAIMI staff, without precedent warning, disabled WIMA's part of the DAIMI web server. The reason is that WIMA is causing a too high load on DAIMI's web servers, threatening the faculty activities. Of course I'll try to find another hosting for WIMA. But I can't say whether that is possible. Any suggestions for a new hosting? maybe OSUOSL : http://osuosl.org/ I contacted OSUOSL yesterday. OSUOSL primarily deals with open source projects (which is in itself laudable). So I didn't expect too much. To my surprise, however, I received today an answer not at all excluding an OSUOSL hosting. They asked for more information on WIMA which I've given them. I've had a closer look at their home page and realized that OSUOSL seems to have highly powerful sponsors, primarily Google and IBM. So they may be not that vulnerable to state cut downs to the university. I'll keep that possibility open along with the CPDL track.

WIMA has had a formal cooperation agreement on exchanging scores with IMSLP for some time. I've explained the situation to them. I've also asked Wikimedia if they can help. CPDL will investigate whether they could host WIMA. Lots of CPDL scores are links to WIMA as part of a formal cooperation like that with IMSLP. There are other ongoing considerations on how to get on - a distribution of WIMA's sheet music resources based on bittorrent, ie. a web load distributed on multiple servers - inquiries at various academic institutions around the world Many of you have suggested a paid for web hosting combined with donations from WIMA users. I need to be very clear on that matter: I will not go into any solution making me dependent on private donations. Maintaining the sheet music archives takes up several hours daily. I must concentrate on that.
