Well, in the meantime it has gone up to 0.16. No further features
are planned for the near future. Thanks for all the feedback, some
of it off-list.
Recommended:
1. On Linux and other Posix-compliant systems, make musixtex.tex
executable and put it in your PATH under the name 'musixtex'.
2. On other systems, make an executable script file so that typing
`musixtex` has the same effect as typing `texlua musixtex.lua`.
This is what you get if you type `musixtex` with no parameters:
This is musixtex.lua version 0.16.
Usage: [texlua] musixtex.lua { option | basename[.mtx | .pmx | .aspc |
.tex | .ltx] } ...
When no extension is given, extensions are tried in the above order
until a source file is found. Preprocessing goes mtx-pmx-tex or
aspc-tex, with the entry point determined by the extension.
The normal route after preprocessing goes tex-dvi-ps-pdf, but
shorter
routes are also available, see the options.
Options: -v version
-h help
-l latex source
-p direct tex-pdf (pdftex etc)
-F fmt use fmt as the TeX processor
-d tex-dvi-pdf (dvipdfm)
-c preprocess pmx file using pmxchords
-m stop at pmx
-t stop at tex/mid
-s stop at dvi
-g stop at ps
-i retain intermediate and log files
-q quiet mode (redirect screen logs, write summary on
musixtex.log)
-1 one-pass [pdf][la]tex processing
-x run makeindex
-f restore default processing
Four TeX engines are available via the -l and -p options.
etex default
latex -l
pdfetex -p
pdflatex -l -p
The -F option allows any engine to be named. In that case, an attempt is
made
to deduce implied -l and -p settings from the presence or absence of the
strings `latex` and `pdf` in the name of the engine. If this is not correct,
the user should explicitly specify the appropriate option.
Sample `musixtex.log`, generated on my system [1] by
`musixtex -q mozart` after copying "mozart.mtx" to the directory
in which musixtex was unzipped.
This is musixtex.lua version 0.16.
Redirecting screen output to /tmp/lua_PyrAjy
Processing mozart.mtx
prepmx mozart
pmxab mozart
etex -halt-on-error mozart.tex

dvips -e0 -q mozart
ps2pdf mozart.ps
mozart.pdf generated by ps2pdf.
