No, I did not mean the whole of it. The core of MusiXTeX is nitty-gritty typesetting and TeX is good at that. I meant that add-ons requiring basic data processing and computing should be written with LuaTeX in mind as the engine. TeX is cumbersome when handling floating-point numbers and arrays, but LuaTeX has those. > What about Luafying M-Tx or PMX?

More pertinently, the existing packages are thereby dependent on Dirk Laurie and Don Simons respectively. I'll collaborate with anyone who wishes to undertake this task, but to so it all by myself would miss the main point of doing it. > And did you have any success in exporting to (or was it > importing from) MusicXML?
