MusiXTeX: all in one line: why?

Post by siarczan6miedzi2 »

Hi
I started to learn how to use MusiXTeX and I have a problem: the whole score I write is displayed in .pdf in one line and not divided into multiple ones. What should I do?
Here's how does my .tex file look like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{ltxdoc}
\usepackage{musixtex}
\EnableCrossrefs
\PageIndex
\CodelineIndex
\setlength\hfuzz{15pt}

\begin{document}
\begin{music}
\hsize=190mm	
\vsize=270mm
\overfullrule 3pt
\instrumentnumber{1} % a single instrument
\setstaffs1{2} % with two staffs
\setclef{1}{60}
\generalmeter{\meterfrac68}
\startextract % starting real score

% all notes here

\zendextract
\end{music}
\end{document}
Thanks in advance for your help

Using \startextract/\zendextract is like telling the system: "don't worry about line breaks, I don't expect any", AFAIK.
Try \startpiece/\endpiece instead.
