Firstly thanks to everyone who sent helpful messages for running MusiXTeX
- it was just a case of requiring certain paths to be updated. More
questions though - apologies if they seem stupid.

When I compile the avemaria example file, I am getting:

> tex avemaria

This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (C version 6.1)
(avemaria.tex (/alcor/jrb3/teTex/texmf/tex/generic/musixtex/musixtex.tex
MusiXTeX(c) T.88 <25 February 1998>
) (/alcor/jrb3/teTex/texmf/tex/generic/musixtex/musixcpt.tex
MusiXComPaTible T.67 <7 January 1997>
) (/alcor/jrb3/teTex/texmf/tex/generic/musixtex/musixsty.tex

) (avemarix.tex /autolines pass I  bar 1 bar 2 bar 3

which results in only two and a bit bars per page width, with the third
bar visible of the page.

The albinoni adagio file does the opposite, and that last bar for each 
measure line is not at the far right of the page.

I get no other errors when compiling, so what should I do to correct this
kind of problem?
