Hello,

I'm a french student of the ENST Bretagne (a high school), and I must work on a 6 month project dealing with gregorian chant in informatic. I'd like first to thank you for your work, because MusiXTeX is a very powerful tool. But I have noticed that it was not totally complete : when i look at

http://interletras.com/canticum/Eng/Rhythm_elementary.html

and

http://interletras.com/canticum/Eng/modes_ENG.htm

I see 4 things that, I think, are missing in MusiXTeX :

- the horizontal and vertical epistemas (small horizontal bar at the top, or at the bottom, of the note or the neume) - the small bar on the top line, and the medium bar, in the middle of the lines (http://interletras.com/canticum/images/pausas.gif) - the small note at the end of the line that corresponds to the fist note of the next line (called custos) - the flat : there is only one in gregorian chant : the B, and the signe is a bit different of the one in modern notations

I have read the musixdoc.pdf and I haven't found these four things, that's why I ask you : are they really missing or do they just not appear in the doc ? Is there someone working on this now ?

It could be a part of my project to make it, so I don't write to ask you to do it, but if I must do it I would like to know if there are things I must know before intergrating it in MusiXTeX, or if you have tips. I think I will learn Metafont to do it.

Thank you,

Elie Roux
