- ************** V.1.1 *********
- ****************************************************************
-
-
- This is the first non-test release of MIDI2TeX, a MusicTeX preprocessor.
-
- This software was designed to translate standard type 1 MIDI files
- into MusicTeX source code. See the manual for further details about
- the function and use.
-
- The manual needs MusicTeX characters. So the platform that you
- want to process this file on should have the MusicTeX files installed
- (musicn20.tfm, musicn20.pk ...). If TeX complains that it cannot find
- the files than delete the note macros at the start of the
- manual: (\def\whole{\ .... \def\sixtyfourth{\ ... \end{picture} } )
- and the new font definition : \newfont{\mus}{musicn20\magstep1}
- In addition, you should delete these macros in the quantization time
- table. I added the refman.sty file to the package which
- the manual uses as it is not standard.
-
-
- This version of MIDI2TeX may be copied freely on a non-commercial basis
- (see manual for license info). I hope that those of you who will use
- this software are kind enough to supply me with some feedback
- about your findings in exchange for it. Bugs, wishes, complaints
- or more happy messages are welcome at my e-mail address :
-
- kuykens@amc.uva.nl.
-
- The manual has some more information about bug report(s/ing).
-
- Here are some suggestions for evaluation :
-
- 1. Did the program ever crash, if so what type of error messages were
- generated ?
-
- 2. Did the program ever got stuck in an infinite loop ?
-
- 3. Was the syntax of the MusicTeX code that the program generated correct ?
-
- 4. Were the resulting scores correct ( i.e. what you expected ?)
-
- 5. Did all the options function correctly ?
-
- 6. Was the manual informative enough ?
-
- 7. Was the program user friendly ?
-
- 8. What options would you like to be added in future versions ?
