it depends whether you want to create pdf. i know most of the music my wife writes (using sibelius, i admit) is distributed as print. if that's not the way you want to go, digital distribution is far better served by generating pdf output, which is much easier using pdftex (which rules out pstricks, to first order). pgf works on most if not all tex-alike platforms (tex, pdftex, xetex and possibly luatex). robin. who's not written any musixtex for years. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
