Thanks toall for their proposals. I am using plain PMX with the "Ae" Option.

I will do some experimentation along your lines.

I also tried to make two instruments instead of four (essentially two pianos) .
But then the verses always appeared below the bass line.

Andre and Dirk's suggestions will probably work. But before I installed the
Ae option in PMX, whenever I tried these sorts of adjustments I would very
often have problems with systems spilling over onto an extra page. I wanted
Dieter to send me his source, first to confirm my suspicion that he had in
fact not used M-Tx, and second, to demonstrate how to use Ae and then make
the kinds of adjustments he wants by using \spread. Ae has the advantage
that no matter what you do to vertical spacing within a page, page breaks
will always be where you want them, and no systems will ever spill over onto
an extra page.

I suppose you use 4 instruments

You may change the space between the staffs by using ie.
AI.8

Then the space above instrument 1 and 3 must be larger:
\\setinterinstrument1{5\Interligne}\
\\setinterinstrument3{5\Interligne}\
You may try to make space above intrument 2 smaller(negatieve number is
possible):
\\setinterinstrument2{0\Interligne}\

Propably you need to change the place of the lyrics (the number can be
negative either)ie.
\setsongraise2{1\Interligne}\

Perhaps you also may use
\\songtop4\songbottom1\
or
\\songtop4\songbottom3\songtop2\songbottom1\

Preserving the page layout:
Above the start of the music:
\\vskip-2\Interligne\%less space between componist and first staff

or/and use staff size 16

or/and make the page higher:
w270m

Hi PMXperts,

if you have time, please have a look at the attachment, which I produced
with PMX and MusixLyr.
It doesnot look too bad, but I would like to put a bit more space between
staves for the verses and less space, when there are no verses, and
hopefully preserve the two-page layout.

Thanks and regards,
Dieter
