+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
 is designed to translate BWW/BMW source as specified in the Bagpipe
 Music Writer Gold help, or the BMWDM Version 5.0/BMWPS Version 2.0
-manual.  I infer from the archives that earlier BMW versions were more
-tolerant of non-conforming code than this release. (Actually I think it
-is that BMWDM is more tolerant than BMWPS or BMW gold). I have not found
-it convenient to emulate all of these unknown (to me) abilities, but
-have accommodated a few of the more common deviations.  bww2tex is less
-accomodating than bmw2tex.  I have implemented the old symbols which
-have new names so that both old and new symbols will work. This version
-successfully parses all but a dozen of the tunes in the Peter Mohr and
-Michael Bell collections and the sample tunes in the BMW Gold
-distribution. The translated files (at least those free of blatant
-copyright problems) are available on the Ceolas archive. The failing
-input files have fairly gross errors (at least as they arrive on my
-machine), e.g., no tabs whatsoever. I have only spot checked that the
-files produced TeX properly.
-.P
-The code is written in flex and bison source. These are processed into C
-*.c and *.h files which can then be compiled into the executable. The
-final program can be used as a UNIX filter, that is, it uses standard
-input and output. Alternatively, input and output files may be specified
-on the command line. Enter 'bww2tex help' to get the details. This
-should be easy to use on UNIX boxes, and in Win32 console mode. Windows
-GUI mode and MAC systems are another story. Such programs require
-additional App wrapper code, a developers environment, or a shell
-program to use on MACs or as a Windows application. The MAC application
-uses the DropUNIX app-wrapper. In the current version the drag and drop
-feature still does not work, but you can convert files using the select
-file menu item. The result is awkward in that one has to restart the
-application for each file converted, but at least it can be used.
-
-.SH USAGE
-.PP
-bww2tex does not add information that is not in the BWW/BMW source. For
-example, it does not generate sloped beams. It also does not adjust the
-spacing. Many strathspeys will have overfull hboxes when TeXed. See
-bagdoc.tex for solutions for crowded music. There are a small number of
-items which BWW/BMW does that MusicTeX does not. I have made reasonable
-substitutions. The formatting instructions in BWW files are mostly
-ignored. The font size is reduced to two sizes, and the landscape spec
-is honored. bww2tex can't, of course, handle user defined BMW tokens.

+The most common cause is a missing tab.
 Other problems I've seen in archived BMW tunes include missing CLEFTs,
 missing spaces, missing line termination, missing beam (l,r) characters,
 capitalization errors, and tokens between a note and its dot.

 Once the input file has been parsed, the next question is will it TeX?
-The most likely cause for a TeX failure is an unknown beamed group
-macro. Often the only solution to this is to add the appropriate
-definition to the TeX file. Sometimes the note grouping may be
-rearranged so that an existing macro may be used. Another cause is a
-beamed group of a single note. This can result an unknown macro or a
-misused macro. These are usually due to errors in the BWW/BMW source,

 A parser trace may be generated by using a debugger to set the global
 variable yydebug to 1 after breaking at yyparse.

 Please test only plausible BWW/BMW source, not arbitrary combinations of
-tokens. If you get a parsing error please verify that the BWW/BMW file
-is legal. This is best done by running the source through the current
-version of BMW gold. The most common problem is that something happened
-to the tabs. There must be a tab separating every beat. and none in the
-middle of a beamed note group. (The "group" may include things like
-trailing dots, ties, and triplet signs, trailing embellishments, and
-first/second time indicators).
