+WHEN MUSCOM DETECTS AN ERROR, IT TYPES OUT THE ENTIRE
+MEASURE IN WHICH THE ERROR OCCURS (MEASURES BEING
+SEPARATED BY SLASHES), PRECEDED, IF IT IS THE FIRST
+ERROR FOUND IN A GIVEN VOICE, BY A COLORFUL MESSAGE.
+IF ONE WORD IN PARTICULAR IS ERRONEOUS, IT WILL
+BE SURROUNDED BY < > BRACKETS IN THE PRINTOUT.
+
+THREE-LETTER ERROR CODES (GENERATED IN PHASE ONE):
+
+TMF	TOO MANY FIELDS
+	A NUMBER, A COMMA, AND THE LETTER R ARE FIELDS.
+	A NOTE SHOULD HAVE A MAXIMUM OF TWO FIELDS.
+TFF	TOO FEW FIELDS
+ERT	ERRONEOUS TIME
+	THE TIME FIELD OF A NOTE WAS NOT A POWER OF TWO.
+UCH	UNUSED CHARACTER
+	A MEANINGLESS LETTER OR OTHER CHARACTER WAS
+	FOUND IN A NOTE.
+UNC	UPNREPARED COMMA
+	A COMMA APPEARED IN A NOTE, BUT NO NOTE
+	CAME BEFORE IT IN THIS VOICE.
+NPS	NO PSUCH SEUDO
+	AN UNIDENTIFIED WORD WITH NO NUMBERS OR COMMAS
+	APPEARED.
+
+BBL	BAD BAR LABEL
+	A NUMBER APPEARED THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE
+	PROGRAM'S CURRENT MEASURE NUMBER.  MAYBE YOU
+	FORGOT TO END YOUR TITLE WITH A SLASH.
+
+AGM	ARGUMENT GREEDILY MASTICATES
+	A NUMBER WAS EXPECTED AND DELICIOUS GARBAGE FOUND.
+DTU	DOT UNDERFLOW
+	TOO MANY DOTS AND X'S IN A NOTE CAUSED THE VALUE
+	OF DOT TO FALL BELOW 1/64 NOTE.
+NOR	NATURAL OVERRIDES
+	WHEN ) OR = APPEARS IN THE SAME NOTE WITH ( + OR - .
+TME	TOO MANY EMBELLISHMENTS
+	MORE THAN ONE OF P, W, U, N, M, D APPEARED IN
+	A NOTE.
+TMS	TOO MANY STACCATO, LEGATO, ETC.
+	MORE THAN ONE OF S, L, E, H, Q APPEARED IN NOTE.
+ITG	INSUFFICIENT TIME FOR GRACE NOTE

+PRS 12/17/69 03:19:43 TEXT MAY NOW BE INCLUDED IN THE "ENGLISH"
+OF A PIECE OF MUSIC.  AT THE END OF EACH
+VOCAL LINE, INSTEAD OF "END" HAVE THE
+COMMAND "TEXT" FOLLOWED BY A SPACE FOLLOWED
+BY THE TEXT.  SLASHES ARE IGNORED. HOWEVER,
+YOU MUST PUT A SLASH WITHIN ABOUT 80.
+CHARACTERS AFTER THE "TEXT" TO FOOL THE
+INPUT ROUTINE.  END YOUR TEXT FOR A GIVEN VOICE
+WITH A BACKSLASH.
+
+FOR A POLYSYLLABIC WORD, PUT
+HYPHENS BETWEEN SYLLABLES.  IF A
+SYLLABLE IS HELD OVER A PLURALITY OF NOTES,
+FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SYLLABLE IN THE SAME
+WORD, N+1 HYPHENS WILL HOLD THE FIRST
+SYLLABLE OVER N NOTES.  IF THE LAST SYLLABLE
+OF A WORD IS HELD OVER A TOTAL OF N NOTES,
+FOLLOW IT IN THE TEXT BY N-1 UNDERLINES.
+EQUAL SIGN MAY BE USED INSTEAD OF UNDERLINE
+AND IN FACT IS RECOMMENDED.
+
+THE -1DOLLARS FEATURE OF TECO ENABLES YOU TO
+ENTER THE TEXT IN BOTH UPPER AND LOWER CASE.
+ASK A SYSTEM HACKER FOR DETAILS.  WARNING:
+LIKE UPPER CASE LETTERS, BACKSLASH (TO END THE
+TEXT) MUST BE "QUOTED" WITH A SLASH, AS
+MUST SLASH ITSELF.  TO GET THE TEXT OUT ON
+THE PLOTTER WITH BIG (THIS BEING CURRENTLY THE
+ONLY USE OF THE TEXT) REMEMBER THAT YOUR
+MUSCOM COMPILATION COMMAND STRING MUST
+CONTAIN A CONTROL-T .   GOOD LUCK.
+
+P.S. THERE'S A TINY BUG WHICH I'LL FIX SOME
+DAY WHOSE EFFECT IS TO LOSE THE FIRST FEW
+CHARACTERS OF THE TITLE OF A VOICE AFTER ONE
+WITH TEXT.

+THE PHRASE "TIME 3 4" SHOULD BE

+MUSIC ENGLISHES ARE SLOWLY BEING CHANGED
+IN THIS WAY.  A PIECE WITH "TIME" INSTEAD

+INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL UNSTRUCTURED FORM BY
