Philip's Music Writer is a program for typesetting
music. It reads text files as input, and generates
PostScript as output. It can also write simple
MIDI files for proofhearing purposes. PMW is
written in C and is freestanding; that is, it does
not require additional processing software. It is
a Linux/Unix port of a program that has run for
over a decade on Acorn systems, where it was known
as Philip's Music Scribe.
