Hi Eckart,
musixlyr consumes four dimen registers plus one dimen register per \setvoice
definition. Taking big or huge TeX implementations won't help since the
number of those registers is always restricted to 256. Both LaTeX and
MusiXTeX, however, allocate many more such registers than plain TeX. In
order to solve the problem: Perhaps you've loaded lots of LaTeX packages but
don't really need all of them? - If your document contains several small
music excerpts, you may save registers by re-using lyrics names, i.e.
"\setvoice{a}{...}...<music>...\setvoice{b}...<music>" allocates two dimen
registers whereas "\setvoice{a}{...}...<music>...\setvoice{a}...<music>"
serves the same purpose but takes only one register.
If those hints fail, please send me your source and let me have a look.
Regards,
Rainer
