M-Tx is quite convenient for music with lyrics - but it is also not too difficult to do the same stuff directly in pmx. You can just take a piece written in M-Tx, compile it to pmx and see the few lines defining the lyrics part (with musixlyr definitions - it is quite easy to learn from the pmx file), if you already know and like pmx. > Is it possible to do so by M-Tx or do I have to > write my music and lyrics in M-Tx, compile the > *.mtx-file to *.pmx and add the chords > "by hand" into the *.pmx-file (i.e. using pmxchord)? Usually, you can use any pmx commands in M-Tx files - nearly all commands that M-Tx doesn't understand are just passed to pmx. I like the header parts and the lyrics definitions of M-Tx more than the ones of pmx :-) But it's just a matter of taste...
