Thanks to Christian for discovering this problem.
After installing PMX 2.520 and the figbas font cmrj as outlined below, the
following file compiles OK:
================================
%---
%\def\mtxversion{0.60d}
%\def\mtxdate{<11 October 2008>}
%\input mtx
%---
2 -1 2 4 4 0 6 0.00000 0 1 1 20 0
60
./
% Paragraph 2 line 3 bar 1
g43 4s g4 6s g4 g4 | /
g44 g4 g4 g4 | /
%Bar 2
g4 2s g4 g4 g4 /
g4 g4 g4 g4 /
===================================
However, after uncommenting the first 5 lines, TeX gives an overfull box and
the image has the dreaded thick vertical line at the end of the system. I've
looked in mtx.tex but couldn't identify the culprit.

>1. Copy cmrj.pfb to the folder

>
>2. Copy cmrj.tfm to the folder
>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
>Data\MiKTeX\2.6\fonts\tfm\public\musixtex
>
>3. Copy figbas.map to the folder
>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
>Data\MiKTeX\2.6\dvips\config
>
>4. Edit the file
>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
>Data\MiKTeX\2.6\dvips\config\config.ps as follows:
>After the existing line "p +musix.map", add the line "p +figbas.map".
>
>5. Refresh the filename database by running
>Start|programs|MiKTeX 2.6|settings and clicking on "Refresh FNDB."
>
>The allows me to view results in gsview32 and to create postscript
