[OS X TeX] Installing MusiXTeX

[Claus Gerhardt]

The subdirectories of  ~/Library/texmf should correspond to the the 
subdirectories of usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf, i.e the your personal 
sty files should be stored in tex/latex/misc.

>The short form is that I couldn't get TeX (I only have Gerben's 
>distribution installed) to recognize ~/Library/texmf/ at all. 
>Nothing I put there, from .sty files to updmap.cfg ever got 
>recognized (e.g., I'd put musixtex.sty in ~/Library/texmf, do sudo 
>texhash, and then try to compile a test file that did 
>\usepackage{musixtex} and TeX would complain that musixtex.sty 
>wasn't found).  So, I ended up using sudo a lot and putting the 
>various files in various places.
>
>First, I downloaded musixps-unix.tar.gz (Postscript fonts) and 
>musixtex-T108.tar.gz from the Werner Icking Music Archive 
>(http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/software/indexmt6.html) 
>which is just wonderful.
>
>To install the PostScript fonts:
>- I put the .pfb files in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/musixtex
>- I copied the musix.map from the musicps distribution folders 
>dvipdfm and dvips into and 
>/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config and 
>/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/config respectively.
>- I modified the /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/updmap.cfg 
>file to include Map musix.map at the bottom of it
>
>To install the musixtex package:
>- I copied the musixtex mf files into 
>/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/source/musixtex/
>- I copied the tfm files into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/musixtex/
>- I copied the tex files into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/musixtex/
>
>I executed:
>- sudo texhash
>- sudo updmap
>
>And all works!
>
>If anyone knows where/how I did this wrong, I'd appreciate the tips! 
>It's nice to have this working, but I hope not to have to replicate 
>this process each time I update!
>
>Best wishes,
