First of all: "musictex" is an old version of "musixtex". If you don't have special reasons for doing else you should install the latter. To your question: In principle you are free to put these packages anywhere you want, if it is inside TeX's file tree (or trees). But making subdirectories helps to keep order with the endless number of files coming with TeX and it's macro packages. All TeX distributions I know have a twofold file tree. One is for the standard files and packages and one is for local stuff. It is up to you in which tree you want to put them. In my distribution (coming with SuSE Linux) musixtex is integrated in the standard tree (TEXMF=/usr/share/texmf, $TEXMF/tex/generic/musixtex, $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/public/musixtex, $TEXMF/fonts/sources/public/musixtex etc, local tree would be /usr/local/share/texmf). Installing musixtex in the standard tree of distributions coming without musixtex has the disadvantage that you may loose the added stuff when you uprgade to a newer version of the distribution. After installing the packages you shouldn't forget to run the configuration utility (e.g. texconfig under Linux's standard TeX distribution teTeX) in order to make the new files visible to TeX's file searching tool. good luck, regards Bernhard _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
