\begin{document}
%% Examples are taken from the MusicTeX documentation
Here's a snippet to be included as part of a page using \verb|\includeMTxAsGraphics| (as a PDF image):
\begin{center}
\includeMTxAsGraphics[width=.6\linewidth]{mozart}
\end{center}
Or you can try this alternate \verb|\includeMTx| command within a \texttt{mus} environment:
\begin{center}
\begin{mus}
\includeMTx{mozart}
\end{mus}
\end{center}
And the next piece will be inserted as a full page, with \verb|\includeMTxPages|.
When using \texttt{fontspec}, add this \emph{before} your \verb|\begin{document}|:
\verb|\PassOptionsToPackage{no-math}{fontspec}|
This is quite experimental so if you get an error, try \href{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Clearing_the_cache}{clearing the cached generated files} in your compile session before recompiling.
If you have a lot of pieces and text to work on, it's probably a better idea to work on a music piece in a project on its own, then add the output to your main book project with \emph{`Add output from other project'}, to make debugging easier.
