I have create a pre-processor for a pre-processor (PMX) to MuSiXTeX :-)
PMXPP allows you to enter music per instrument, in a top-down fashion instead of measure-by-measure, down-up. It also makes it easier with the numbers at the beginning of all PMX files... Here is a very, very short examples:
---begin file---
voices: 2 instruments: 2 key: 1 meter: 4/4 systems: 1
%
% All the rest of the normal numbers default to something that
% is usable, so I did not enter them
%
Ab
Iiflfl
Tt
My Song
Tc
Me
\\def\raisebarno{4\internote}\
\\def\shiftbarno{-1\Interligne}\.V t Flute I 1: a44 b44 c45 d45 2: d45 c45 b44 a44 .EV
.V t Flute II 1: d45 c45 b44 a44 2: a44 b44 c45 d45 .EV
---end file---
I'm not certain everyone, or anyone will like it, but it make's it much easier for me to use PMX, therefore I thought maybe someone else might find it interesting as well.
You can get more info (a simple manual, an example, and of course the program (open source)) from: http://jeremy.cowgar.com/music/pmx/
Please let me know what you think, good or bad. Oh, it's written in Python, so that can be a blessing or curse, but it sure was easy to write in Python vs. C :-)
