hi all
I've got two questions to the MusixTeXperts: a) the sequence
\setclef10\changeclefs
produces output only when the clef before is different from 0. Is there
a possiblility to force the output even when the clef happens not to
change at that place?
b) the sequence
stumbles across the kpathsea library. It cannot
find/use it although it must be there and working since TeX works. How
is this on your machine? Do you use dvipng, or is there an alternative?
dvipng seems not to be supproted by the fink collection.

using the CASE statement). When changing clefs or staves, the octave
has often to be readjusted according to the clef. With the possibility
of giving absolute octaves when prefered (as in PMX) this problem would
not occur.
