The new version of MusiXTeX (1.15), together with up-to-date documentation, musixflx, Postscript slurs, type 1 fonts, musixlyr, musixcrd, etc. has been at CTAN for about a week. This distribution can be easily installed using an unzipper on any TDS (TeX Directory Structure) compliant TeX system, including MikTeX, TeXLive, teTeX, and MacTeX.
>From there, it was picked up by TeXLive and is now available for updating from TeXLive servers. TeXLive is a multi-platform distribution maintained by the TeX Users Group. It can be installed on any of nineteen platforms, including i386-linux, win32, MacOSX, etc. And today I received a message from Christian Schenk (lead developer of MikTeX) that the musixtex at MiKTeX is up-to-date. (I don't see this yet at the mirrors, but likely by tomorrow.) Our success at getting up-to-date versions of MusiXTeX into mainline distributions of TeX is very gratifying. I'm grateful for the assistance and cooperation of (in no particular order) Don Simons, Ross Mitchell, Robin Fairbairns, Takanori Uchiyama, Stanislav Kneifl, Peter Breitenlohner, Karl Berry, Bernd Jantzen, Norbert Preining, Jean-Pierre Coulon, Jill-Jênn Vie, and Joel Hunsberger.
