Würfel-Menuet is a dice music by Johann Philipp Kirnberger.

This package contains the following files packed in menuet.zip:
 readme      This file
 menuet.all  TeX-input to process menuet.dat and menuet.nxt
 menuet.dat  All bars making up the Würfel-Menuet
 menuet.nxt  One example of a diced menuet overwritten each time
              menuet.bat is run

 menuet.tex  TeX-input to process a diced menuet

 menuet.bat  A DOS-batchfile which calls minuet.exe to generate menuet.nxt,
              calls tex to process menuet.nxt with MusiXTeX using menuet.tex,
              runs musixflx and calls tex again for the 2nd and 3rd pass of
              MusiXTeX, and which views the result. Normally this file
              must be customized for your system.
 minuet.spt  A SNOBOL (spitbol) programme which reads menuet.dat, dices
              and generates menuet.nxt 
 minuet.exe  minuet.spt compiled for DOS
 minuet.sun  minuet.spt compiled for Sun ("pure SPARC executable")

and a seperate file 

 menuet.ps   Postscript-file generated from menuet.dvi, which has been
              generated by calling  menuet.bat  with parameter all. The
              file may be compressed with gzip and is then named
              menuet.ps.gz - the file requires A4 size paper.

In addition to these files you need MusiXTeX which is available by
anonymous ftp on a lot of well-known ftp-servers.

Unpack all files into a seperate DOS-directory. Customize menuet.bat.
"menuet all" processes all bars and one diced menuet
"menuet"     generate a new dice-menuet and processes it with MusiXTeX
If there is a second parameter "noview" (e.g. menuet next noview) the
resulting DVI-file is not displayed.

If you do not have DOS you have to replace menuet.bat by your script to
do a similar processing. For Sun you may use minuet.sun as executable. 
If you do not have SPITBOL but another SNOBOL-interpreter you have to
adapt minuet.spt. If you do not have any SNOBOL-interpreter re-write
"minuet.exe" on the basis of the comments in minuet.spt with your
favourite programming language.

Please be so kind and send the execution-script and exec-file for your
system to me, so that I may add it to this package.

If you want to print on letter-size paper you can try to insert the follow-
ing lines into the ps-files at a convenient place :-). That may be just af-
ter "%%EndSetup" and before "%%Page: 1 1" or may be just after the 1st line.

Addendum 95-03-01

The first version was incomplete; it didn't contain my personal
modifications to MusiXTeX. I've added those which are required
to menuet.all and menuet.tex. Sorry for any inconvenience.
