I was wrong. LuaTeX has an option --output-format=dvi and I checked that it works, so the downside is gone. Unfortunately the musixtex script does not allow non-default parameters to the individual steps, nor in my opinion should it, being a convenient general-purpose tool. So you need to do the last two steps by hand. ------------------------------- [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
