Hello Eckart, hello list-members,
for the users of the list-archive it's easier if one problem corresponds

pmxtex.tex?
A PMX-output may contain a lot of calls of \interstaff. If you
do not like the way PMX uses \interstaff to fill the page with
music you may intercept it by
\\let\interstaffsav\interstaff\def\interstaff#1{}\interstaffsav{nn}\
if nn is the value you want. But then you are responsible for
underfull vbox etc. If you want to include such PMX-output
into a bigger TeX-context you should restore the value of \interstaff
at the end of the piece e.g. by
\\def\interstaffrest{\global\let\interstaff\interstaffsav}\
and calling \interstaffrest\ just before the last note of the piece.
AFAIK musixlyr.tex has nothing to do with \interstaff

\mxinit would be great. IMHO only Daniel Taupin would be able to
write it. It's already partially preset by \normalmusicsize\resetlayout
But this does not reset e.g. \grouptop, \groupbottom, \interstaff, ...

Yes. One of the first things in a section of .mx1 is the current \hsize

If it could be changed, would you be so glad and making the changes?
The mx2-file contains some fixed values e.g. \elemskip for any line
of music so that the music just fills that line. So if you use
the same source with different \hsize you should be happy that
musixflx is the fastest part of the complete process.
I for myself keep the mx2-files and re-use them but only to notice
when there are changes which maybe I didn't want or expect.
