If you have a look into pmx.tex you'll find at line 214 (version 2.34)
  \def\figfont{\normtype\rm}%
By redefining this you should be able to adapt the size of figures. But we
should ask Don

-- are you there Don?

if this could impose some interferences with internals of PMX or pmx.tex.

Anyway, modified figures would either go to MusixTeX's fontset or into a
separate font. So this would have to be modified once they are available.
Thinking about the problem of readability, a separate font might be the
better choice because it enables to change sizes independend from each
other. Furthermore, this prevents us from having problems with
interferences inside the MF sources of MusixTeX.
