istm that music typesetting is in a different league to text typesetting; not least because the users of the typeset output aren't used to being given printed material that's typeset in a crappy way. my wife, when we married, had been using sibelius for several years, and at that time (15 years ago) i couldn't produce anything from musixtex to match sibelius' output. back then i was working for a living, and major undertakings, like typesetting multi-part choral music, seemed to need more time than i had available. now, i'm retired -- and might, in principle, extend musixtex as required. but she's had 15 years' _more_ experience using sibelius, and i fear i have no chance of weaning her off it. (despite it being taken over by a company of corporate <ahem>s). i have a friend who uses a different <wysi"something vaguely appropriate"> sort of program, and she too is loath to leave it ... and she's a computer scientist and occasional latex user. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
