Yes I do so (PMX 2408, MusiXTeX T111). I suspected it was due to some
experiments of mine and I fixed it with for the moment a quick-and-dirty
patch. Now I tend more to think that the reason is located in
pmx.tex/musixtex.tex. Inserting
\def\raisebarno{3.5\internote}%
\def\shiftbarno{3.5\internote}%
after reading in pmx.tex puts the bar numbers back to where they used to
be. I didn't dig more into details (a comment in pmx.tex near line
250 states
% The following 2 macros are messy, but they retain \raisebarno as a macro and
% retain original definition in musixtex for the end-of-line utility.
:-) but it seems that somehow \raisebarno and \shiftbarno, respectively
the retaining macros/dimension registers get reset to zero later on during
read in of pmx.tex (inspecting this with some inserted \show and \the
commands in inline-TeX commands). Thus redefining them afterwards fixes
the actual problem but may kill the stated end-of-line feature.
Has anyone got any idea what may go on there?

Bernhard
