MusiXTeX and Related Software

News:

• Bob Tennent has uploaded MusiXTeX version 1.38 to correct a \changecontext error reported by Wilfried Lingenberg.

• Don Simons has released PMX version 3.00. This version provides an option to remove the limit of 9 on forced beams. A side benefit of selecting the option is that all beams are vectorized. The only other new feature is that 2-digit figured bass figures are allowed.

  An easy-to-install package with a zipped texmf tree, Windows executables and a tar.gz file which can be processed on any Unix-like system with basic GNU tools and a C compiler is available here and at CTAN, and is available in MikTeX and in TeXLive 2023. Consult pmx-install.pdf for installation instructions.
