Thank you very much!
It is incredible, that you exposed your package last night!
My problems now disappeared. Now I can have 7 trills (I've made a mistake writing, that I can't put more than 5, I meant more than 6)
I've had problems not only with trills, but also with akkoladen (I needed 6), slurs (I needed 17). Your package solved all my problems. I didn't know what to do (I tried to put symbols explicitly saying \zcharnote s{\char 16...} using musixfont.
It was the most disturbing feature in MusixTeX. As for now, everything works fine.
But, as you made such big improvements, I would like to ask: what do you think about the placement of instruments names in a score? I think, taht it should be aligned to right (to the score), not centered. I do that inserting hard spaces. Yet another problem is with names of instruments consisting of two line, i.e.
Piccolo| Clarinet|
I do this with raising \hbox and kerning the second word. But this is a dirty trick.
I must say, that I have never used etex. As for now, I don't see any difference. I will write if I have any suggestions or problems with the package.
Best regards,

Hello Anna,
Sorry for my multiple reply.
(2) 7 or up trills are not available in normal MusiXTeX.
If the lack of number is only trills and other elements are enough,
try to add the definition shown below. This probably goes well with normal TeX which you might be now using.
This enables \maxinstruments (=9 with musixadd.tex, 12 with musixmad.tex) trills simultaneously; I suppose this will be enough
for your case.

The procedures will be:
*directly add it before \startmuflex in your source code of the piece, or *save it into an external file (for example: addtrill.tex) and \input it (\input addtrill.tex) before \startmuflex.
