But as I looked at it last time, it was impossible to get a working=20 distribution (lots of patches and dependencies of tools on unreachable=20= sites...); but perhaps someone knows how? Another problem are appropriate music fonts (I know only Metafonts,=20 besides either unusable or expensive PS fonts). Even if I know that Hans is a capable wizard, I don't think that some=20 Metapost music typesetting could provide more than some single note=20 lines. If we talk about music typesetting (or try to port or adapt=20 something for ConTeXt) we must think in orchestra concert book=20 dimensions; I guess musical typography more difficult than "usual".
