Hello Matthieu,
challenging problem, indeed! As far as I can see, this incident uncovers
a slight MusiXTeX design flaw concerning "Akkoladen": The top and bottom
bow shape of an Akkolade is drawn as a \musixfont character, but
\musixfont is a staff-specific layout parameter and is not really
well-defined outside a staff context. In your case, the first Akkolade
is drawn using the default \musixfont setting whereas all other ones
adopt the \musixfont defined by \setsize{0.8}.
As a workaround, it seems to be necessary to make the wanted font
setting effective already before the first system is drawn. In your
example, the following dirty trick seems to do the job: Add the command
\setbox255\vbox
{\startextract\notes\global\let\musixfont\musixfont\en\endextract}
just before your \startpiece. (This pretends to typeset a system, laid
out the same way as the "real" ones, grabs the locally effective font
setting and makes it global, then throws away the dummy system.)
Best regards,
Rainer
