Hello Steffen, My installation of MusiXTeX is the one bundled with OpenSUSE 10.1. On this computer, /usr/bin/musixtex is not a helper program, it's just a symlink to pdfetex. I agree that "musixtex" should handle the 3 steps transparently. I will write my own shell script and replace the musixtex symlink on my system. Thanks for the information.
