Hi Joerg: Yes, of course, you're right, TeX is also a requirement for LilyPond. I guess when I'm using MT it feels like I'm using TeX, so the TeX aspect feels "closer" than when I use LilyPond. I ran PMX examples from the PMX package itself, in version 2.5.01. I've just discovered the PDF manual, I'll study it today and try the preprocessor again this evening. Btw, I must congratulate you on your recent versions of NoteEdit. Thank you for the fine software !
