01      What is MuTeX?

The MuTeX package is a set of macros allowing TeX to typeset music.  It was
written by Andrea Steinbach and Angelika Schofer, as a master's thesis at
Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University.  MuTeX allows you to typeset
single-staff music and lyrics.


01      What is MusicTeX?

Another powerful package which allows the typesetting of orchestral and
polifonic music is MusicTeX, written by Daniel Taupin.

The main difference between MuTeX and MusicTeX is that
   - MusicTeX deals with multiple staves (staffs?)
   - MuTeX produces a nicer output.

The reason that MuteX produces nicer output seems to be that it can
handle only single-staff music and therefore can easier put glue
between the notes. A second reason is that it makes "real" slurs and not
some sort of rotated brackets (braces, ...).
