Hello Michael, ist seems that your installation of MusiXTeX unfortunately does not run the helperprogram musixflx, which actually computes the spacing. As result, you get a kind of "default spacing".
On my Debian Linux system, musixtex is a perl script, which runs both tex and musixflx. If your installation does not contain such a script, I'm afraid that you have to start musixflx by hand. For example: tex \&musixtex filename musixflx filename tex \&musixtex filename The second run of MusiXTeX then uses the spacing, which was previously computed by musixflx.
