The idea of implementing the present package is due to the previous work (MuTEX) of Andrea STEINBACH and Angelika SCHOFER1.1. This work provided the basis of the Metafont codes and some line breaking procedures, which both are still used here... with 99% corrections and updates.
Besides, the original fonts of MusicTEX, named musicn20, musicn16, musicn13 and musicn11, have been recently reviewed by Andreas EGLER and the new release — used in the version 5.00 and above of MusicTEX — is called musikn20, musikn16, musikn13 musikn11 and musicbra.
