Two changes:
1) \texteuro
2) GPL in musixdoc and musix*.tex sources and in main *.mf routines.

You are welcome to do it but only as AN ALTERNATIVE. In fact, I
experience that several users of Acrobat Read DO NOT have all fonts, and
this is far more likely with the PostScript fonts for MuysixTeX.
Now, since the PDF of musixdoc is supposed to be read by people who have
NOT already installed musixtex, I state that it must be readable by
Acrobat whatever postscript fonts they have. Otherwise you prove people
with a black box whose key in locked inside!

Yes, but the bitmap fonts appear on the sceen of anybody, regardless of
the fonts he has installed.
Thus, using PostScript fonts is OK for anything, EXCEPT musixdoc.
