Thanks for the quick reply Christian,
I have many examples of music, combined into one thesis, which
is all
written in latex.
Could I make the redefinition you gave, at the start of my
thesis tex file,
so that it applies to the many different musical examples, all
at once?
probably - I tried myself with a not too convincing result. But
then my latex knowledge and experience is near to zero. Other
subscribers, please help!

Hi Brendan,
The problem in doing what you want to do is that you evidently
plan to call M-Tx/PMX again for every single musical example, and
then your redefinition will be overwritten every time! Thus even
'\providecommand' (instead of '\newcommand') won't help you.
The only way I can think of right now is to
(i) take Christians new \def and stick it into your LaTeX
master source file under a new name (say, "\Bredansep")
and then
(ii) put \def{...}\Bredansep in each of your musical example
files [sorry: unfortunately I lost your and Christians
previous mail, and I don't remember the name of the command
you need; but you know what I'm talking about].
This, of course, isn't much of an improvement; but at least
it makes your code more transparent, and in case you need
to change the command again later, you need to do that in
only one place (quite in the spirit of TeX/LaTeX).
Can anybody come up with something more elegant ??
ccn.
