Musixtex: annotate an score with arrow and text

It´s needed to annotate an score using arrow and text, the code is as follow:

Best Answer

I would not use \startextract and \zendextract but rather \startpiece and \zendpiece to typeset the music, because this will automatically fill a line. You can then easily set the line width using the text width option of the TikZ node.

You can use the \scale{} macro to set the right relative distances between the different music parts. Somehow the distance of the two half notes needed some additional manual adjustment. To manually add some horizontal spacing between the notes, you can use the \off{} macro.

Rythm dictation score in Musixtex (interlined font for whole notes)

The package XITS has the \dottedcircle glyph, which can be imported and then resized using \resizebox from the graphicx package. Then the dotted ellipses can be placed on the staff using \zcn.

The code below contains a macro \beats that takes a list of notes (separated by commas) for an argument. For example, the first five beats are produced with \beat{c,d,e,f,g}.

\newlength{\musicwidth}%new
\setlength{\musicwidth}{0.95\textwidth}%new, can be set for each instance of a figure environment 

\newcommand{\beat}[1]{\foreach \n in {#1}{\zcn{\n}{\raisebox{-.35ex}{\resizebox{1.75ex}{.95ex}{$\dottedcircle$}}}\sk}}

\begin{document}
The student sees the score and hear the rythm dictation:

\begin{music}
    \resetlyrics
    \instrumentnumber{1}
    \nostartrule
    \generalmeter{\meterfrac{2}4} %Compás en 2/4

    \Endpiece
 \end{music}

After that, student resolve the exercise:
