This is M-Tx (Music-from-TeXt), version 0.63d (2022-08-22).
M-Tx is a preprocessor for PMX that facilitates inputting
lyrics. It builds the PMX input file based on a language
very similar to PMX. M-Tx includes most of PMX's
functionality, but it also permits in-line PMX commands to
give access to virtually all of PMX.
The author of M-Tx is Dirk Laurie (deceased).
To install (on TDS-compliant TeX systems):
+ unzip tex-archive/install/m-tx.tds.zip at the root of
a texmf tree and, if necessary, update the filename
database; e.g., texhash texmf. Documentation for M-Tx
is installed under doc/generic/tmx. You must use an
unzipping program that converts text files to the
text-file format of your platform, such as "unzip -a ..."
on Linux.
+ *either* copy the executables appropriate for your
platform (Windows32, Windows64, OSX) to a
folder on the executable PATH and ensure it has execute
permission
+ *or* on any Unix-like system with gcc and standard
development tools installed: unpack mtx-0.63a.tar.gz
(anywhere), move to the resulting mtx-0.63a directory,
and do
./configure [--prefix=$HOME]
make (or make -f Makefile.orig if you have fpc installed)
make install (as root, if necessary)
Documentation for M-Tx is installed under
doc/generic/m-tx
