Thanks for help. I didn't try because I've a new problem: since I use BibLatex, I couldn't have both Biblatex and musixflx work (I just tried without biblatex before): something doesn't work, perhaps because both systems require a 3-pass system. I'll try to give some details when I'll try all in a controlled environment. thanks Piero
