I've found after much testing that .285\interbeam avoids all
overshooting and is almost as good as .31 for undershoots.
Unless someone can come up with a more satisfactory approach

Thanks Jean-Pierre. The hack helps with the beam ending
but the stem still isn't quite long enough. Check it at 8x
magnification.
I've received a complaint that stems are slightly offset to
the right. Check out the output of the following MWE at very
high magnification:
\input musixtex
\setclefsymbol1\empty
\startpiece
\NOtes\sk\qa n\ibu0h0\qb0h\tqu0h\en

MusixTeX-1.17 is now available in TeXLive-2015 and as update
in MiKTeX (as well as CTAN and WIMA).
An updated autosp package at CTAN and WIMA incorporates
some minor improvements and corrections, and now includes
a simple utility (rebar) that reads a MusiXTeX source from
standard input and
If one applies t1lint to the type 1 musixtex fonts, many
error messages are generated. For example,

Don Simmons has revised pmx.tex so that headings are the
usual size when one of the non-standard font libraries
(musixtrm, musixplt, musixhv) is used with PMX or M-Tx. It
is available in the following archive:
