pmxab - a MusiXTeX preprocessor
SYNOPSIS
pmxab jobfile.pmx
DESCRIPTION
PMX (directly invoked by pmxab) is a preprocessor for MusiXTeX. It's usually invoked by its frontend pmx(1). To use it to its full bene-
fit you should have installed MusiXTeX Version 1.00 or higher, and TeX itself. The goal of PMX is to faciliate the efficient typesetting
of scores and parts that have an almost professional appearance. To learn more about typesetting with PMX, please read the PMX Manual.
When invoked directly, pmxab produces tex output utilizing the MusiXTeX macro set.

prepmx - preprocessor for PMX, easy music typesetting program
SYNOPSIS
prepmx [options] jobname [outdir/] [stylefile]
DESCRIPTION
M-Tx is an easy to use preprocessor language for the PMX music typesetting program, aimed at people who are not experts. For an easy exam-
ple, have a look at the following example:
c2+ e4 g | b4d- c1 d c2 |
c8 g+ e g c- g+ e g | d g f g c- g+ e g |
For syntax reference, please look at the M-Tx manual written by Dirk Laurie, the creator of the M-Tx language and the author of prepmx, its
command line utility.
prepmx processes the file jobname.mtx to generate jobname.pmx. You can then process this file using the `pmx' command. PMX is a pre-
processor for MusiXTeX.
outdir/ is the directory where `pmx' will put the final .tex file. Note that the trailing slash is mandatory. You can provide a stylefile
for M-Tx. If omitted, the file `mtxstyle.txt' in the current directory is used, if there is one.
OPTIONS
Options can also be specified in a `Options:' line in the preamble, which takes precedence over the command line.
-b never unbeam eighth notes and shorter
-c main music lines only - ignore chords
-D enable debug mode
-f use tonic sol-fa note names
-i ignore errors
-m music only - ignore lyrics
-n indent first system and print default instrument names
-t ignore uptext lines
-u uptext synchronizes with notes only, not rests
-v verbose progress report
-w enable pedantic warnings
-n select specified case of multiple score
EXIT STATUS
If no error was found, prepmx exits with return code 0. In case of an error, the line number of the processed line is returned. This may
not always be the line containing the actual error. A return status of 10000 means that the input file was empty or could not be opened.
