NAME

       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.

NAME

       analyzer - program to analyze the music file(s) and put the data into IMMS database

SYNOPSIS

       analyzer filename [filename] [...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the analyzer command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       analyzer is a second most important piece of imms suite. It takes the list of filenames with songs (currently only mp3 and ogg formats are
       supported), makes acoustic analysis of them and put gethered data to the database. Analysis is rather slow - it has to decode the entire
       file - so it will take a while, but analyzer is smart enough to skip files that have already been analyzed.

       analyzer is running automatically by imms plugin, but you can also run it manually to analyze your whole music collection at once to
       benefit from acoustic correlations immediately.

       You can run the analysis your whole archive using following command:

       find /mnt/mp3 -type f -exec analyzer {} ;

       For more sofisticated examples please see Tips and Tricks section of upstream homepage: http://imms.luminal.org/.

FILES

       Program stores it's data in $HOME/.imms/ directory. For more detailed documentation please see upstream homepage: http://imms.luminal.org/.
