WOW! Thank you very much! I wasn't aware of the existence of LilyPond! VERY NICE! A lot easier that musixtex. And it can be integrated in a tex document as well. :-))
And there's the debian stable pckg too!
I o u 1!

But I have this little problem with grace notes. I'd like to have the grace note without the slash. I know there's
\grace {
\property Voice.Stem \override #'stroke-style = #'()
c16
\property Voice.Stem \revert #'stroke-style
} c4

but I'd have to use it a lot of times...
Isn't there anything similar to:
\renewcommand\mygrace{.....}
so that I could just use
\mygrace c16
in my document?
Moreover, I have NO grace-init.ly file.

Thank you VERY, VERY MUCH !!!
