PMW operates by reading an input file containing an encoded description of the music; such a file can be constructed using any text editor or word processor. The music encoding is very straightforward and compact, and quick to enter. PR: ports/67283 Submitted by: Brian Candler <B.Candler@pobox.com>

music typesetting. Originally written for Acorn RISC OS computers,
|
|
there is now a version that runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.

PMW comes with a PostScript outline font that contains all the musical
|
|
shapes (notes, rests, accidentals, bar lines, clefs, etc.) that it
|
|
requires. There is a man page for the command line options, and a
|
|
200-page manual that is distributed as a PDF file.
