Examples

Due to compatibility problems with L^ATEX (used to produce this notice) large examples must be TEX-ed separately, i.e. using TEX and not L^ATEX. Therefore, the MusicTEX future user is suggested to produce some of the following examples and to look carefully at the way some special features have been coded.

When producing this examples, care should be taken about the fact that many given files are supposed to be included (by means of normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\input) in other files. Thus the only good files to be directly TEX-ed are those which begin with normalshapemediumseries\input musicnft. In addition, it must be noted that most DVI previewers and laser printers have their origin at one inch below and one inch right of the right upper corner of the paper, while the musical examples have their upper left significant corner only at one centimeter right and below the left top of the paper. Therefore, special parameters have to be given to the DVI transcription programs unless special normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\hoffset and normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\voffset TEX commands are introduced within the source TEX text.

Suggested tests are:

• normalshapemediumseriesPACIFIQN for a long original piano work (11 pages); normalshapemediumseriesPACIFIQB is the same in 16 pt staff size;
• normalshapemediumseriesHADAGIO for a typical organ score (included in normalshapemediumseriesRECUEIL);
• normalshapemediumseriesCARILLON for a sophisticated piano score (use BigTEX !);
• normalshapemediumseriesPRAETORI to get an ancient polyphonic song with three transpositions;
• normalshapemediumseriesANGESCAO if you like Christmas carols with four voices, a three-staff organ score and the same transposed to meet ordinary singer's limitations; normalshapemediumseriesANGESCAM is the same without organ. See normalshapemediumseries angescax.tex to see how the same source has been used for two distinct layouts.
• normalshapemediumseriesHPRELFUG if you like imitations of J.-S. Bach (included in normalshapemediumseriesRECUEIL);
• normalshapemediumseriesMARCELLO if you like pre-baroque music (included in normalshapemediumseriesRECUEIL);
• normalshapemediumseriesRECUEIL if you want to get all the organ works of the author in a single book (58 pages);
• normalshapemediumseriesHWIDOR and normalshapemediumseriesNWIDOR to get the Toccata by Charles-Marie WIDOR in two different sizes.
• normalshapemediumseriesAVEMARIA to get the ``Méditation'' (alias ``Ave Maria'') by Charles GOUNOD for organ and violin or song.
• normalshapemediumseriesRACINE to get the ``Cantique de Jean Racine'' by Gabriel FAURÉ in a transcription fit for organ rather than for piano.
