Hello,
thanks for your reply, but the problems remain. Back at home yesterday I
tried \startpiece...\endpiece as follows:

\begin{music}
\setstaffs1{2}
\setclef1{\bass}
\generalmeter{\meterfrac34}
\generalsignature{-4}
\def\freqbarno{10}
\startpiece
...
with and without the music environment, but got a series of errors like
these:


! You can't use `\raise' in vertical mode.
\writ@box ->\raise 
                   \altportee \rlap {\box \toks@box }
l.229 \startpiece
                 
? 
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   \hbox 
l.229 \startpiece
                 
? 
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again> 
                   \hbox 
l.229 \startpiece
                 
? 
...
? 
bar 1
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 229--243
[] [][][][][][][][][][]  

\inline=

I also tried
\begin{center}
\parbox{\textwidth}{%
\setstaffs1{2}
\setclef1{\bass}
\generalmeter{\meterfrac34}
\generalsignature{-4}
\def\freqbarno{10}
\startpiece
...

which gives me similar errors at the \endpiece. What confuses me is that
a \startpiece...\stoppiece (\parboxed in a figure environment) and some
\startextract...\endextract earlier in the file (with some text in
between) worked without problems; using \contpiece instead of
\startpiece here didn't help either.
I also tried \linegoal=2 and ran musixflx with \startextract, but it
shows no effect; I didn't try it with \startpiece because of the
aforementioned problems.
Any further ideas? BTW, I have T.88 of MusiXTeX at home; do you think it
is necessary to upgrade it to solve this problem?

Regards,
Thomas

Yes, of course. But in this case it's really just a four-bar example.
