I agree entirely, and as a matter of fact I was drafting a comment along the same lines in reply to Christof's post when Irwin's mail reached me. Daniel's MusixTeX manual is one of the best pieces of software documentation I've come across, but for anyone who isn't conversant with TeX to begin with, it's rather daunting to try to teach yourself MusixTeX from it. (It can be done -- I managed it, with a lot of help from listmembers and especially Werner Icking -- but it does take a fair amount of dedication.) So... is anyone already writing such a tutorial or making a New Year's resolution to do so? Or am I going to end up regressing myself to my early MusixTeX days to remember the difficulties I had, and do the deed myself? (For MusixTeX, anyway -- as I've never managed to learn PMX, someone else would have to handle that side of things.) Eva Downloadable guitar edition of J.S.

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret of style." --- Matthew Arnold (1898), quoted in David and Hilary Crystal's "Words on Words" (2000) _______________________________________________ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
