[OS X TeX] Opustex and TexShop on OSX

[Teresa Clark]

I'm typesetting gregorian chant and as far as I know, it's the most  
reliable way to do this.
I have compiled the source for opusflex using the OSX gcc compiler.  
The problem is how to run it all.  My daughter and I now have  
extensive chant files in this format.


Does Musictex handle gregorian chant?

Thanks
Teresa Clark
