Dear Julian,
when you are new to using MusiXTeX, why don't you have a look at PMX?
PMX is a very comprehensive and readable input language for a program
called PMXAB.EXE, which then generates MusixTeX input.
You will find an excellent introduction to PMX by C.C. Noack under
icking-music-archive.org/software/*pmx*/*pmx*ccn.pdf .
The creator of PMX is Don Simons and can be reached via this mailing list.
For access to the Software please look under/

Dear all,
I'm a new user of MusiXTeX. For few days, I've been writing very small scores,
using the musixtex package and my usual compiler pdflatex, with no major
problem.But then I realized that I couldn't have a proper layout for bigger
scores, and I learned about the existence of themusixtexcompiler (which
embeds, if I understand well, a three steps process, etex, musixflx and etex
again) . However, using the IDE TeXnicCenter for a long time, I don't know how
to configure it with this compiler.I know can define output profiles, i.e.,
specifying a compiler, pre and post-processors.
Here I attached "latex.png", a copy of the output profiles window, configured
for my normal use of latex.
"latex2.png" is the same window but configured for musixtex. The changes are minors,
mainly, the path to the latex compiler is different, and I don't know what to write in the box
"command line arguments to pass to the compiler". If I let the same than for pdflatex,
here is what I get from the console when I try to build my file :
musixtex> This is musixtex.lua version 0.9
musixtex> Non-existent file: -max-print-line=120.tex
musixtex> Non-existent file: -interaction=non-stopmode.tex
musixtex> Processing myscore.tex
musixtex> This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6- (MiXTeX 2.9)
musixtex> entering extended mode
musixtex> (myscore.tex
musixtex> ! Undefined control sequence.
musixtex> l.1 \documentclass
musixtex> [10pt, a4paper]{article}
musixtex> ? etex: Bad file descriptor
musixtex> Musixtex processing of myscore.tex fails.
What I understand from this is that arguments used with pdflatex are useless with
musixtex, and that etex in unable to read my file because some "file
descriptors" are bad...I guess I simply have to change the compiler arguments, but I
really don't know what to give him!
Does anyone can help me about this?
Thanks a lot,
Julian Moreira
