Dear All,Thanks for your replies and hints. Sincere apologies for the length of this reply.
A. The good news is that TexMozartp3.tex (see attached) did compile and generate the same output as in the manual (except for the bar numbers). For this to work, the input file and the directory musixtex MUST be at the same level in the parent directory. This is crucial.
B. I did mean page 3 of the printed manual, not page iii. The example is as follows:
\begin{music}
\parindent10mm
\setname1{Piano}
\setstaffs12
\generalmeter{\meterfrac44}
\startextract
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{cge}\tbu0\qb0g|\hl j\en
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{cge}\tbu0\qb0g|\ql l\sk\ql n\en
\bar
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{dgf}|\qlp i\en
\notes\tbu0\qb0g|\ibbl1j3\qb1j\tbl1\qb1k\en
\Notes\ibu0f0\qb0{cge}\tbu0\qb0g|\hl j\en
\endextract
\end{music}
which I can now cut from doc/musixdoc.tex. Thanks for this hint.
C. I note that doc/musixdoc.tex (which I cannot latex) differs from
the pdf file of the manual currently available from WIMA. I'd like to
suggest that the pdf version of musixdoc.tex be put on WIMA,
replacing the current one.
On line 8048 of musixdoc.tex, we read: " When producing this examples, care should be taken about the fact that several given files are supposed to be included (by means of\keyindex{input}) in other files. Thus the only good files to be directly
\TeX-ed are those which begin with \verb|\input musixtex| or\verb|% \input musixtex|. This latter command is often commented out so that
the examples can be run either using a \musixtex\ format including {\tt
musixcpt.tex} and {\tt musixsty.tex} --- namely the format generated
by {\tt
musixtex.ins} --- or using a \musictex\ format including {\tt
musictrp.tex},
{\tt musicvbm.tex} and {\tt musicsty.tex} --- namely the format
generated by
{\tt musixtex.ins}."
It would be very useful if this statement (or a shortened version of
it) were included as a footnote before the first examples in the
manual . And 'begin{music}' \'end \{music} ' should be removed from
the example! ... it is a bit confusing here for the reader, as Tex is
mentioned repeatedly as the preferred engine, and in Chapter 2,
opening paragraph, we are reminded that \input musixtex must be
included, again suggesting Tex.
D. Including
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{musixtex}
....
\end{document}
around the example was a good suggestion. For this to work, my input
Mozartp3.tex and the directory musixtex have to be in the same parent
directory (i.e. at the same level).
Unfortunately it still won't complete, complaining:
!I can't find 'Mozartp3.aux,'
\enddocument
and hangs on
l. 17 \end{document}
with no pdf file generated. Definite progress, but this is strange as
there are no e.g section references to generate such a file(??)
Seems to be a Latex problem. Oddly enough, Tex does not complain about a missing .aux file, and does not generate one from e.g. adagio.tex.
Thanks again for your assistance. Graham Norton
