Hello Eva,
all MusiXTeX actions concerning the .mx1 and .mx2 files are always
global; you can't thus prepare the ossia box -- which is a complete
"musixflex section" of its own -- in mid of the outer-level piece. But
this is not necessary anyway; you can fill the \ossiaI box right before
starting the actual piece:
8<-------------------------------------------------------------
\input musixtex
\startmuflex
%
% begin ossia code
%
\newbox\ossiaI
\def\extractline{\setbox\ossiaI\hbox}%
\setsize1\tinyvalue
\startextract
\NOtes\qu{efgh}\en
\endextract
%
\startpiece
\NOtes\qu{cdef}\en\bar
\NOtes\zcharnote{x}{%
\loffset 3{~\unhcopy\ossiaI}}\qu{ghij}\en\bar
\NOtes\qu{klmn}\en\bar
\NOtes\qu{opqr}\en
\Endpiece
\endmuflex\bye
8<-------------------------------------------------------------
This time, \bar works again as usual.
Best regards,
Rainer
