I feel convinced that you attempt to run the second tex pass on the .mx2
file. When I do that myself I get error messages like those reported by
you. Provided that the base tex sample file will pass at all (not all of
them will) you should get successfully through the processing by launching
the tex- and musixflx commands on the source file names _without_ their
extension part (.tex .mx1 etc). Some of the base tex example sources have
no concluding \bye statement. In that case you should enter \bye at the TeX
promt '*' yourself.
I would advise you to start with the sample accompanying the pmx- and mtx
distributions. If you're curious to see how 'real' musixtex works you might
do a closer study of the .tex files resulting from the processing of the
.pmx files. Sometimes it may be useful or even necessary to compare with
the musixtex.tex and pm.tex macro source files.
