This is the README file for OpusTeX example music scores, excerpt from
the OpusTeX 0.77 User's Manual (p. 76) on Sunday, July 27, 1997
by Anthony Fok <foka@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca> for Debian GNU/Linux.
To try out the examples, mkdir a new directory and copy the files
and gunzip them there.  For example, to compile the music scores for
Ave Maria, run the command:
  
    opustex avemaria.tex
  
or, if that doesn't work, try the following instead:
  
    tex \&opustex avemaria.tex
    opusflex avemaria
    tex \&opustex avemaria.tex

If you like to print the samples on Letter size paper, try adjusting
the parameters in the *.tex files.  Enjoy!  ^_^

Chapter 5
Examples

Due to compatibility problems with LaTeX (used to produce this notice)
large examples must be TeX-ed separately, i.e. using plain TeX rather than
LaTeX.  Therefore, the OpusTeX future user is suggested to produce some of
the following examples and to look carefully at the way some special
features have been coded.

     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 \hoffset and \voffset TeX commands are
introduced within the source TeX text.

Suggested tests are:

 * AVEMARIA to get the "Mditation" (alias "Ave Maria")
   by Charles Gounod for organ and violin or song.

 * BANDONEO to get several pieces for Bandonen.

 * DIMMAN to get "V mlhch" by Leos {\sc Jancek} for a
   modern piano work (thanks to Lena and Robert Storlind).

 * LOBPREIS to get "Das ist kstlich, dir zu sagen Lob und Preis",
   which shows some features out of \ttxem{opuslit}.

 * PARNASUM to get one page of "Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum" by
   Claude Debussy for a romantic piano work.

 * SEHNSUCH to get "Sehnsuchtswalzer" by Franz Schubert for another
   romantic piano work, which shows how to code ossia.

 * SOLOCELL to get the Suite II from the "Solo cello Suites" by
   Johann Sebastian Bach for a cello score.

 * SWINGLOW to get the Spiritual "Swing low, sweet chariot" by
   H.W. Eichholz for a choirus score.

 * SYMPH6_2 to get an excerpt from "Symphonie No. 6, Satz 2"
   by Beethoven for a multi-instrument score (thanks to Erwin Achermann).

 * TRAEUMER to get famous "Trumerei" by Robert Schumann for piano with
   some additions to perform ascending crescendi.

 * WIDOR to get the two first pages of "Toccata" by Charles-Marie Widor
   for an organ work.
