Dear writers and typesetters of vocal music,

as Don has already mentioned, a new version of musixlyr, the lyrics add-on for 
MusiXTeX, is now available at http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/. Let me 
add here a few remarks about what's new:

 o Support for lyrics on multi-staff instruments

 o Melisma declaration as part of the lyrics definition,
   i.e. within \setlyrics
 
 o Improved scheme for vertical lyrics positioning

 o Using PMX: Automatic detection of upper/lower voice context in
   a two-voice staff; explicitly addressing lyrics commands to
   auxiliary lyrics with \auxlyr is no longer required

 o Context-dependent lyrics settings that do not need to be
   adressed to absolute instrument/staff numbers, making lyrics
   assignment robust against PMX part extraction

 o No more TeX register allocations per verse
   (i.e. musixlyr uses only a small, fixed number of registers)

 o Facility for posting "extra" lyrics anywhere on a staff,
   even where no notes are present at all
 
 o Slightly more robust processing of undefined verses


All kinds of comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcome!

Regards,

Rainer
