Yes, but i am mostly only reading along there.

Please check out Egler's copyright very well. As far as i remember he
doesn't want to keep his version as free as Taupin indeed does. I
think they had a major quarrel when developing MusiXTeX which led to
the leave of Egler back then. Anyway, Taupin's version is the de fact
standard in the TeX related music world and i suppose Egler's
development can be easily ignored as long as it doesn't provide
anything exceptionally better than Taupin's version.
Thank you, P. *8^)
