1MUSIXTEX(1) MUSIXTEX(1)

6 musixtex - processes MusiXTeX files, using pre-processors prepmx, pmxab
7 and autosp as necessary, and then deletes intermediate and log files
8 (unless -i is used)
9
11 [ texlua ] musixtex[.lua] { option | jobname [ .mtx | .pmx | .aspc |
12 .tex | .ltx ] } ...
13
15 If a jobname argument has a .tex extension, the default effect is to
16 process the file using
17 etex(1) (first pass)
19 musixflx(1) (second pass)
21 etex(1) (third pass)
23 dvips(1) (dvi to Postscript)
25 ps2pdf(1) (Postscript to Portable Document Format)
27 normally followed by removal of intermediate and log files. A log
29 musixtex.log is generated, even if other log files are removed.
30 If a jobname argument has a .pmx extension, the file is first prepro‐
32 cessed using pmxab(1) and the resulting .tex file is processed as
33 above.
34 If a jobname argument has a .mtx extension, the file is first prepro‐
36 cessed using prepmx(1) and the resulting .pmx file is processed as
37 above.
38 If a jobname argument has a .ltx extension, the file is processed using
40 latex(1) (or pdflatex(1)) in place of etex.
41 If a jobname argument has a .aspc extension, the file is first prepro‐
43 cessed using autosp(1) and the resulting .tex or .ltx file is processed
44 as above.
45 If a jobname argument has none of these extensions, the script will
47 look for a file jobname.mtx or jobname.pmx or jobname.aspc or job‐
48 name.tex or jobname.ltx, in that order, and process it as above.
49
51 -v, -version, --version
52 output program name and version number, and quit
53 -h, -help, --help
55 output usage summary and quit
56 -l assume LaTeX source; implied if the file has .ltx extension
58 -p change the TeX processor to pdfetex(1) or pdflatex(1) (and
60 doesn't run a dvi processor)
61 -c preprocess pmx file using pmxchords(1)
63 -d don't generate a .ps file and change the dvi processor to
65 dvipdfm(1)
66 -D dvix use dvix as the dvi processor; e.g., -D "dvipdfm -m 0.9".
68 Use -d before -D to suppress .ps generation.
69 -P ps2pdf use ps2pdf as the Postscript processor; e.g., -P "ps2pdf
71 -sPAPERSIZE=a4"
72 -F fmt use fmt as the TeX processor; e.g., -F "luatex --output-for‐
74 mat=dvi"
75 -m stop processing at the pmx file
77 -M mtxx use mtxx as the mtx preprocessor; e.g., -M "prepmx -i".
79 -X pmxx use pmxx as the pmx preprocessor; e.g., -X "./pmxab",
81 -A aspcx use aspcx as the aspc preprocessor; e.g., -A "autosp -l".
83 -t stop processing at the tex/mid files
85 -s stop processing at the dvi file
87 -g stop processing at the ps file
89 -i retain intermediate and log files
91 -1 one-pass [pdf][la]tex processing; i.e., without calling
93 musixflx
94 -x call makeindex(1) to update index database
96 -f restore default processing
98 -q quiet mode (only musixtex's own messages); other messages are
100 diverted to a temporary file. If an error occurs at the TeX
101 stage, processing halts immediately and the tail of the log
102 file is sent to stderr. Version information is copied from
103 the temporary file to the log file.
104 Options affect processing of all succeeding MusiXTeX files unless
107 changed by another option. Option flags cannot be combined; e.g., use
108 -l -x rather than -lx.
109 Note that four TeX engines are available via the -l and -p options:
111 etex default
113 latex -l
114 pdfetex -p
115 pdflatex -l -p
116 If the -F option is used, options -l and -p need to be set if the
118 engine name does not contain "latex" and "pdf" respectively. For exam‐
119 ple, the above four engines can be replaced by:
120 -F "luatex --output-format=dvi"
121 -F "lualatex --output-format=dvi"
122 -F "luatex" -p
123 -F "lualatex" -p
124
127 autosp(1), etex(1), latex(1), pdfetex(1), pdflatex(1), makeindex(1),
128 musixflx(1), dvipdfm(1), dvips(1), pmxab(1), pmxchords(1) prepmx(1),
129 ps2pdf(1) and musixdoc.pdf.
