The following would not have been suggested, but you did state that
the program doesn't have to play the music... :-)

Well Dave, here is your chance to justify getting AmigaTeX (or the PD
version)...  MuTeX is a macro package (with MetaFont fonts) that produces
beautiful pages of music via TeX.  I have seen the output, but don't
currently have it on my system due to the fact that music is not
my forte.  Tomas Rockiki, author of AmigaTeX, will provide MuTeX
on one of his AmigaTeX PD disks (or I think that it can be downloaded
from BIX) I believe, or it could be ftp'd/email'd from on of the
many archive sites.

As a side bonus, Radical Eye Software just started shipping a new
version of AmigaTeX that allows PostScript graphics to be pulled in
and rendered on any Amiga compatible printer!  He currently uses
post.library to provide this functionality and the output looks
great on my HP DeskJet printer...  If you liked scribe, you'll
love TeX.

I love the album and I hope to see quotes from it engraved in the
new products you are working on.  :-)
