30 Apr '02

A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ============================================================ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: mathabx Author's name: Anthony Phan Location on CTAN: fonts/mathabx Summary description: mathabx, quite large series of mathematical symbols License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The mathabx series are at their development's first stage. The ``me'' suffix means ``Merely for Evaluation''. Their author hopes to have time one day to design anew some symbols, especially large ones. Thus, he claims no stability about metrics and encoding of these fonts, nor about plain TeX and LaTeX input files. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and is making its way through the mirroring process. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ========================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: LaTeX Songbook Style version 4.0 Author's name: Christopher Rath Location on CTAN: /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/songbook Summary description: Latest version of LaTeX Songbook style License type: lgpl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 4.0 of my LaTeX Songbook style has now been posted to CTAN as well as the Songbook homepage (http://www.rath.ca/Misc/Songbook). The Songbook style provides an all purpose songbook style for LaTeX2e. The package allows for three types of output from a single input file: words and chords books for the musicians to play from, words only songbooks for the congregation to sing from, and overhead transparency masters for congregational use. The style will also print a table of contents, an index sorted by title and first line, and an index sorted by key. It attempts to handle songs in multiple keys, as well as songs in multiple languages. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
