 (b) the answer to your problem is nevertheless simple:
     musixTeX, and thus also PMX uses its own fonts for the
     creation of musical scores, and therefore you can use only
     the 2 (musical) font sizes that are presently available,
     which are called 16 and 20 -- basta! (the exact answer is
     a little more complicated: if you look at the font names
     loaded into you TeX installation by musixTeX, you will see
     some more fonts. But consider that you also need fonts for
     grace notes etc, so just be content with the above).

Perhaps some day one of our musixTeX specialists will come
up with a more flexible size handling system; but I doubt
it: it would be a sizable programming project, and I haven't
heard anyone complain loudly about this lack of
flexibility.

In M-Tx (and therefore a fortiori in PMX) one can get 13pt, 16pt, 20pt, 24pt or 29pt notes. Easily. True, there are a few MusiXTeX
instructions you need to give if you also want the annotations etc
to look right.


If that is not good enough the answer is also simple.  Suppose you
want 32pt.  Scale the page layout parameters (height, width, margins ...
down by a factor 29/32.  Then let a later program do the work.

The attached example was made by
$ prepmx bigger; pmxab bigger
$ tex bigger; musixflx bigger; tex bigger
$ dvips -x1200 bigger -o bigger.ps; ps2pdf bigger.ps

alternatively you may do the final magnification saying

dvipdfm -m 1.1 bigger

That will generate type 1 based pdf output (if you've configured dvipdfm properly).
