Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install texlive-musixtnt on Fedora 36.

What is texlive-musixtnt

The package includes an archive containing a MusiXTeX extension library musixtnt, and documentation for a program msxlint. musixtnt.tex provides a macro \TransformNotes that enables transformations of the effect of notes commands such as \notes. In general, the effect of \TransformNotes{input}{output} is that notes commands in the source will expect their arguments to match the input pattern, but the notes will be typeset according to the output pattern. An example is extracting single-instrument parts from a multi- instrument score. msxlint detects incorrectly formatted notes lines in a MusiXTeX source file. This should be used before using \TransformNotes.
