Overview

`mousik` is a package for writing music in LaTeX. It is based on TikZ and includes staves, clefs, key and time signatures, notes and chords, rests, beams and tuplets, accidentals, articulations, slurs and ties, dynamics and hairpins, and piano notation. It uses short commands and allows the user to control the position and shape of the musical elements. Everything is written directly in LaTeX without an external music preprocessor.

Dependencies: `harmony`, `musixtex`, and `tikz`. The MusiXTeX fonts must also be installed (`musixtex-fonts`).
