At the Sounding Edge: Music Notation Software for Linux, Part 3 (Linux Journal)

Dave Phillips makes musical notation with MusiXTeX. "MusiXTeX is a set of macros and fonts that provide extensions for music publication with the TeX typesetting software. TeX is a powerful text processing system for UNIX/Linux, originally designed for high-quality typesetting of scientific and engineering articles and books. It puts special emphasis on representing the symbols and graphics found in algebraic equations and other mathematics formulae. This special graphics capability made TeX a natural choice for a high-quality typesetting system for music."

Lilypond seems to be more useful to musicians; the article didn't mention it.

The article series has mentioned it several times before. There was even a two part series about it.

"Next month I'll present another TeX-based music typesetting program, the awesome LilyPond. See you then!"

I guess it did.
