Fine that you included the source. So it's easy to see, that you used
\startextract...\endextract, which always generates one-line samples.
You have to use \startpiece...\endpiece (together with running musixflx)
to get as many staves as the music requires. If you think there should
be more or less staves you may use \mulooseness=n to increase (pos. n)
or decrease (neg. n) that number of lines musixflx assigns to the work.
Alternatively you may \linegoal=n to request n lines. Any of these
values must be specified (after \startpiece?) and before \endpiece.
You can find examples how this works in musixdoc.tex, the *source*
of MusiXTeX's documentation.

Maybe :-(

BTW:
Because of the many dimension etc. MusiXTeX uses, it's advisable to
use pure MusiXTeX for bigger musical works, i.e. no AmsTeX, no LaTeX.
And one more hint: as a beginner you should use PMX as preprocessor,
which makes it much easier to access MusiXTeX. Your four bars look
using PMX like this:
2 1 3 4 3 4 0 -4
1 2 20 0
bt
./
Arb
% 1-2
f82 (t f+ f1 ) g a g f e d c | b8 (t g+ g1 )t a b a g f es ds /
c15 b a g a8 f (t d4+ | d1 )t c b as b8 g (t e4+s /
% 2-3
c1 ds es f g a b g f e f e | f4 r1 c ds es f g a b /
e1 )t f g a b8 g1 es d8 c | b1 a g a b d c b a g f es /
Some people already succeeded to intergrate PMX-generated MusiXTeX
code into LaTeX documents.
