This is PMX, version 2.6.03. PMX provides a preprocessor for MusiXTeX.

pmxab builds a TeX input file based on a .pmx input file in a much
simpler language, making most of the layout decisions by itself. It has
most of MusiXTeX's functionality, but it also permits in-line TeX to
give access to virtually all of MusiXTeX. For proof-listening, pmxab will
make a MIDI file of your score.

scor2prt is an auxiliary program that makes parts from a score.

pmx.lua is a wrapper script that runs pmxab, all 3 passes of MusiXTeX,
and subsequent conversions to PDF.

The author of pmxab and scor2prt is Don Simons (dsimons@roadrunner.com). 

This package consists of

  (i) pmx-texmf.zip, which contains macros, documentation, and the
      pmx.lua script

 (ii) pmx-2.6.03.tar.gz, which contains the Fortran source code
      for pmxab and scor2prt

(iii) directories Windows and OSX, which contain pre-compiled
      pmxab and scor2prt executables for those platforms

 (iv) pmx-install.{tex,pdf}, which is a more detailed version of the
      following instructions:

To install (on TDS-compliant TeX systems):

 +  unzip pmx-texmf.zip at the root of a texmf tree and, if necessary,
    update the filename database; e.g., texhash texmf. Documentation for
    PMX is installed under doc/generic/pmx.

 +  on Windows or OS-X: copy the pre-compiled executables appropriate for your
    platform to a folder on the executable PATH 

 +  on any Unix-like system:  unpack the pmx tarball (anywhere), move to the 
    resulting pmx-2.6.03 directory and do

       make
       make install

    gcc and the gfortran pre-processor are required.

 +  on Windows: copy the file scripts\pmx\Windows\pmx.bat to a folder on the 
    executable PATH

 +  on any Unix-like system: install a symbolic link pmx in any
    directory on the executable PATH to scripts/pmx/pmx.lua

Documentation for PMX is installed under 

doc/generic/pmx
