No, not really. Since the time I studied mathematics at university back in the 1990ies, I have been using TeX for most of what I wrote (usually plain TeX, rarely LaTeX). So it was natural for me to use it for music as well.
I always had only a very limited amount of musical scores to typeset, just a couple of pages every other year or so. So I just never bothered to learn a different system. Plus, what I fundamentally like about TeX is the unrestricted possibility of getting any symbol to any position on the page. I remember piecing together a glissando line from multiple copies of a sloped line found in some deviate TeX font. It's in the last bars of this piece: https://imslp.org/wiki/Sonata_for_2_Pianos_(Lingenberg%2C_Wilfried) And I am not a WYSIWYG type of user, I prefer to write code. But if you wanted to imply that I should not have used MusiXTeX to typeset my Kuhlau edition in the first place, you are certainly right ... :-) Best, Wilfried > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Jean-Pierre Coulon [mailto:[email protected]] > Gesendet: Dienstag, 17.
