Hello, I'm a happy Lyx user.
Unfortunately, I'm using the musixtex package (v. T112) which would need the
musixflx 3-pass system to produce a perfect layout in my document (a
doctoral dissertation in musicology).
But when I installedmusixtex there was no binary of musixflx in the
installation files. I downloaded it manually but I don't know how to tell
Lyx to use it when compiling DVI or PDF.
I think it's a simple thing, because, following the Musixtex docs, I already
could have it work manually by:
1- export to a .tex file
2- making a 3-pass system (executing Latex -> musixflx -> latex)
but you can imagine how lazy I can get when it comes to check the final
layout of my document every time I need it!!!
Please help, I know it's very simple.
I don't know about very simple, but it can be done. Probably you should
write some sort of little batch file that will do the 3-pass business.
This file should take two arguments: The input filename and the output
filename. Let's say that it lives at c:\myfile.bat. Now define a new
format (dvim, say) in Preferences>Formats. Just modify the DVI format
and then hit "Add". (This dialog is confusing.) Now, go to Converters
and define one that converts LaTeX to your new format (dvim). You can
just modify the Latex-->DVI format here. The converter will be:
c:\myfile.bat $$i $$o
That should work. You can do much the same sort of thing for pdf.
