How to get MusicTeX

Original archives of MusicTeX and MusiXTeX

All original files are available at anonymous ftp ftp://hprib.lps.u-psud.fr/ (193.55.39.152) from France in the directory,/pub/music_zips . This directory normally contains all files related to MusicTeX. For ftp-ing convenience, there are zip archived files such as musictex.zip (musictex macros, fonts, and manuals), musicexp.zip (examples), musicpk.zip (special fonts for MusicTeX; you don't need this if you have METAFONT system).

You can also get the files from CTAN(Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) in the directory /tex-archive/macros/musictex.

Also, you can get MusiXTeX(mentioned in What is MusicTeX) from /tex-archive/macros/musixtex/taupin.

MusicTeX related files from M.A.B.

MusicTeX has its original manual musicdoc.tex in musictex.zip. Here I present you the Japanese Manual. There are 2 archives. MusicJdc.tar.gz for source set, and MtJdc.dvi.gz for the DVI file. Since the files had several troubles, a little modified version is released. Refer to readme.doc (of course it's written in Japanese!) in MusicJdc.tar.gz for detail.

I have been using MusicTeX and making new macros for expansion of MusicTeX. It is named MusicExp. Refer to readme.doc in exp.tar.gz for detail. The readme.doc is written in Japanese, but you can get informations of macros and their usages from musicexp.tex itself. You can also get the TFMs and PK fonts for MusicExp.

To make DVI files from the scores posted by M.A.B., you need a special macro set named MAB_Styl.tex. Don't forget to put it in the directory where TeX can recognize.
