Description-en: Philip's Music Writer
PMW is a computer program for high quality music typesetting. It was
originally written for Acorn RISC OS computers (where it was called
PMS)
.
PMW operates by reading an input file containing an encoded description
of the music; such a file can be constructed using any text editor or
word processor. The music encoding is very straightforward and compact,
and quick to enter. The input encoding is designed to be easy for a
musician to remember, and tries to make use of as many familiar musical
notations as possible within the limitations of an ASCII character set.
.
PMW can output PostScript files for printing, and basic MIDI files for
proof-hearing.
