  SF2A README: 4/13/2011
  =================================================================

  DESCRIPTION
  -----------
  sf2a  is a unix command-line program 
  for creating sound files from text such as
 
       moderato: do re mi.

   - We have renamed sf2sound to be sf2a.
   - The installer (for Macs) is now "sudo sh setup.sh -install"
   - All files are installed in /Applications/sf2a/


  INSTALLATION & TESTING
  ----------------------
  Install sf2a by running the command

       % sudo sh setup.sh -install YOUR_USER_NAME

  in the downloaded folder.
  Then run this to test the installation

       sf2a 'do re mi'

  The audio file produced is out.wav

  DICTATION
  --------
  Copy the file dictation.txt from the install folder to some folder.
  Go to that folder.  Run the command 

      % dict -m

  The file dictation.txt will be processed into web page
  that has five musical dictation exercises.   Still
  some work to do here.  Type dict -h for help.
  
  MTALK
  ------
  mtalk is a text-to music program.  Example:

     % mtalk 'One bag of apples.  Oh, and four pears please' -p

  This command transforms the text into solfege, then into a sound
  file, out.wav.  The option "-p" causes out.wav to be played, assuming
  that you have installed a command "play" which works when you 
  type "play foo.wav".

  MANUAL
  -----
  We have started a manual. See sf2a.tex
  or go to
