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.

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
USED IN PREFERENCE TO "UNITS 24" ETC.  OLD
MUSIC ENGLISHES ARE SLOWLY BEING CHANGED
IN THIS WAY.  A PIECE WITH "TIME" INSTEAD
OF "UNITS" MAY BE OUTPUT IN STRUCTURED FORM
INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL UNSTRUCTURED FORM BY
INCLUDING A CONTROL-T ANYWHERE IN THE MUSCOM
COMMAND STRING.
