<h1>MusiXTeX and Related Software</h1>
</center>
<p><b><span style="font-weight: normal">MusiXTeX</span></b>, created by
Daniel Taupin, Ross Mitchell, and Andreas Egler, is a set of macros and fonts
that enables TeX to typeset music. To use it, at a minimum you must copy the
macro and font files to the right directories in your particular TeX file
structure, have the binary musixflx available to run, and have a TeX input
file containing the proper commands. It's a three pass system: TeX, musixflx,
then TeX again.</p>
<p>To simplify inputting instrumental music there is the preprocessor PMX by
Don Simons, which creates a TeX input file. For vocal music, there is M-Tx, a
preprocessor for PMX by Dirk Laurie. It provides easy access to the
functionality of the TeX macro package for lyrics called musixlyr, by Rainer
Dunker.</p>
<p>This page has short descriptions of most of the current files. Experienced
users or those seeking an older file may wish to bypass this page and browse
the <a href="./">directory</a>. That is the only access to some older
versions of current software (many <a href="musixtex/older-versions">past
versions of MusiXTeX</a>, useful for tracking changes), files for MusiXTeX's
historical predecessors <a href="musictex">MusicTeX</a> and <a
href="mutex">MuTeX</a>, and some other files that are not linked to from any
web pages.</p>

<a name="pmx"></a><dl>
<dt><font size="4"><strong>PMX</strong></font> is a preprocessor for
MusiXTeX. It builds the TeX input file based on a PMX input file in a much
simpler language, making most of the layout decisions by itself. All data
are entered into a single file for the full score, up to 12 parts. An
auxilliary program makes parts from a score. PMX has most of MusiXTeX's
functionality, but it also permits in-line TeX to give access to virtually
all of MusiXTeX. For proof-listening, PMX can make a MIDI file of your
score.</dt>
