Dear Experts, while compiling a tex file of a vocal score obtained from mtx | pmx (both do not complain) I receive this error message:

The offending TeX line should be this one: \pnotes{4.39}\ast{.00}\xnum{0***}{`f}3\ibl1{''b}9\qb1b\qb1c\beginmel%
The problem is, I think, the '***' sequence. I tried to remove it, leaving just a zero, but the compilation was not successfull because musixflx complained saying: "Too less bars or \mulooseness too large ?" and the final result was a disaster.
I've observed something like this in the past and if I remember well it was due to a misstyping which led to a "negative octave" i.e. a note which would appear far below the lines. Apparently, pmx does not check against underflow when using relative octave input ("-/+" or just nothing)
