It processes fine for me as originally sent. I've always done it this way,
my model being Don Simons' "Most of the PMX Commands". I tried it your way
and (for me) the 2nd time bar extends right to the end of the piece.

"I" initiates MIDI, "t108" is metronome speed for playback and "ifr" is
(french) horn (could use i61). This how I understood the PMX manual. What
do you think I should be doing? Does this line fail to process under
PMX on your system?

I've had this minor problem intermittently through 3 versions of PMX.

I run PMX 2.20, 18.3.2000 and MusiXTeX T.98, 1.12.99
