Greetings:
Deep thanks to Professor Noack, Don Simons, and everyone else who responded with the information I needed. I've completed the MusiXTeX profile for my book chapter, and I did indeed consult the PMX tutorial and reference card for more information regarding that program. Until I began this profile I had not used MusiXTeX at all, but I'm quite impressed with its capabilities. My thanks to all who have been and are now involved with this excellent endeavor.
Incidentally, the original chapter in the first edition of my book ran to 16 pages, including 9 screenshots. The revised chapter weighs in at 55 pages and 31 screenshots. Those figures might give interested readers some idea of the expansion of the book's scope. The original notation software chapter profiled only Common Music Notation, Mup, and Rosegarden. The new chapter profiles abc, CMN, LilyPond, Mup, MusiXTeX, MuseScore, and NoteEdit, with special reference to Rosegarden in the LilyPond profile. PMX and Mux2D are also briefly introduced in the MusiXTeX profile.
Best regards,
Dave Phillips

I've been writing a greatly revised chapter on notation software for the 2nd edition of my book, and I've completed the profile of MusiXTeX but I don't have a list of recent and current maintainers. Can someone direct me to that information ?
(cut)
"official" maintainers: * MusiXTeX: its main author, Daniel Taupin, was killed in a mountaineering accident almost a year ago. At least for the time being, Olivier Vogel (email: oliviervogel at freesurf.ch) has volunteered to maintain MusiXTeX, at least for the time being. * PMX, M-Tx, Musixlyr, Musixser, OstScript slur packages K/M are maintained by their respective authors. You can find details on all of this in my PMX tutorial
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmxccn.pdf
(this does not reflect the newest developments of PMX yet -- sorry -- ; I am working on the update.)
The WIMA ("Werner Icking Music Archive" is at present your best bet for obtaining up-to-date information on all MusiXTeX-related software (among many other thing, such as beautiful scores).
"PMX": You (or was it someone else in this thread?) complained of having `no experience with PMX'. The point is: PMX is EASIER to use than straight MusiXTeX, not harder! Consult my tutorial ...
Hope this helps.
