Philip's Music Writer (PMW) is a computer program for high quality
music typesetting. Originally written for Acorn RISC OS computers,
there is now a version that runs on Unix and Unix-like systems.
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.
PMW comes with a PostScript outline font that contains all the musical
shapes (notes, rests, accidentals, bar lines, clefs, etc.) that it
requires. There is a man page for the command line options, and a
200-page manual that is distributed as a PDF file.

- Update to 4.28
Changes:
- On a 64-bit system, stretching and shearing fonts did not work. I only noticed
when I upgraded to a 64-bit system; clearly not many people use this feature.
- Under some circumstances, a spurious error "An input line is too long when
macros are expanded" could be generated. This showed up on a 64-bit system
with 4G of memory, but I'm not sure which exact condition provoked it.

- Update to 4.27
- Pass maintainership to submitter
Changes:
- If a bar containing a long rest symbol is wider or narrower than normal, the
|----| symbol is now drawn instead of using the font character. This means it
can be made longer or shorter. In particular, it is now possible to have one
long bar right across the page as is common in instrumental parts for tacet
movements.
- Updated font-handling to add the remaining Unicode characters in the Latin-A
extended font, together with the infinity character, all of which are present
in modern fonts.
- The PDF index in the manual now has clickable links to the individual letter
headings in the index.
