But: (a) it is anyway impossible to check that a given PMX score
generates clean MusiXTeX because of the inline TeX feature;
(b) by definition, a user who writes scores with more than
twelve instruments cannot possibly be simple-minded.

PMX always generates "\input musixmad" even if your score has one
instrument, one music line and one note.
So I vote in favour of the big PMX.
