PMTeX A Preprocessor for MusicTeX by Don Simons (dsimons@logicon.com) INTRODUCTION PMTeX will generate MusicTeX code for multi-staff scores with up to five staves (or voices) per system. Once it makes a .tex file for you, you will probably want or need to change a few things manually. This is because (a) PMTeX only has a small subset of the capabilities of MusicTeX, and (b) PMTeX is not perfect. But it can save a LOT of time with the grunge work involved in setting up notes...enotes groupings, defining beams, justifying lines, and spreading the entire piece evenly over a specified number of systems.
