PMTeX
A Preprocessor for MusicTeX

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.
