Here a test drive report. The really good news is that on my somewhat aging Windows XT SP2 system, straight out of the box I got the script to run and extract parts. (I'm a little puzzled why it ran at all since I've never knowingly installed any Lua interpreter).
PMX 2.603 than ran fine on Sanctus-Q2. But when I next ran etex on the resulting Sanctus-Q2.tex, I got ! sorry, musixuad must be input before musixlyr. l.48 ...y, musixuad must be input before musixlyr} After commenting out the two lines % \input musixadd % \input musixuad etex and dvips ran OK, but produced a .ps with one system on the 1st page at the bottom, 1 on the second at the top, and two on the 3rd, and 3 on the 4th. I had used these options with dvips: dvips -O0.25in,-0.22in Sanctus-Q2 Adding -ta4 didn't help the pagination. The musixadd issue is probably related (in a way I haven't worked out in detail) to assumptions I made in PMX 2.603, namely that it would always use MusiXteX 1.15 or better, and therefore never require musixadd, musixmad, or musixuad. Bad news is that I couldn't get prepmx to process Sanctus.mtx at all. It complains ==> This is M-Tx 0.60d (Music from TeXt) <11 October 2008> ==>> Input from file Sanctus.mtx Writing to Sanctus.pmx Too many groups: ERROR on line 5 When Hermann first started this thread, I wondered whether M-Tx could deal with so many voices, and I'm still wondering.
