metrix
package.
Version number: 1.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: A package to typeset metric/prosodic
symbols standalone or above syllables.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the initial version of metrix. A package to typeset the
metrics (prosodics) as a line of symbols or above the syllables
of a verse. It uses an ASCII like syntax for the symbols, e.g. u
for an elementum brevis, _ for an elementum longum or u_uu for
an elementum anceps. The symbols can be aligned above (or below)
the syllables if you give the verse in a hyphenated form. A
short example by Ovid in his Tristia 4,10,26:
metrics{_ _ _ _ _ | _ u u _ u u _ }
{et quod temp-ta-bam | scri-be-re ver-sus e-rat}
Furthermore metrix defines three new commands for accent like
symbols (lng, rv and acct) and a macro to print the bow
connecting two vowels or syllables (ow).
