% It's strictly recommended to use this file only with INITEX as a format
% If you don't want this, remove all '%...'

% removed:
% - all slurs and ties
% - all glues (zglueskip, tempsskip, ...-> nobreak, relax)
%   added glue (\pm 1pt) behind signs
% - ha@width, ha@raise, na@raise ...(all things for musicpln)
% - all penalty changes
% - a lot of internal macros, dimen, counts
% - advancebottom, change \stafftopmarg or use \parskip

% introduced:
% - muflex line breaking as a solid part
% - muflex slur package (modified)
% - a few enhancements, cosmetic changes
% - some bugs !!!

% moved out:
% - 1/128th beams        -> musixbm
% - triple pointed notes -> musixtri

% and shrinked the memory consumption

% TeXperts may want to change the next

%
%   This is muflex.tex version 1.00 , January 1993
%
%   Macro library for MusicTeX `flexiline' operations: MuFlex.
%   The idea is to set up a two pass system.
%   On the first pass, information about each bar is written to the file
%       jobname.mx1.
%   After the first pass, an external (non TeX) routine is run to
%   determine optimal values of the elemental spacing (\elemskip)
%   for each line, so as to properly fill each line, and to lead to
%   the piece filling an integral number of lines.
%   The relevant parameters are written onto the file
%       jobname.mx2.
%   On the second pass, the .mx2 file is read in, and the information
%   used as described above.
%
%   Ross Mitchell, January 1993.
