If your TeX is recent enough, there's a Lua interpreter hidden in it.
You have texlua if you have luatex. It's the same program, but what
it does depends on the name by which it is called. If you call it as
texlua, it's just a slightly customized Lua interpreter.

It is needed for Hermann's huge score but not for the extracted
ones. I simply made an empty file in the same directory and called
it musixuad.sty. It is found in preference to the system-wide one.

That's caused by the paragraph of pure TeX. Responsibility of the
user, not of extract.lua.

extract.lua can deal with any number of voices even if M-Tx can't :-)
But anyway it's trivial. In globals.pas, omitting the quaint comments
on 64K data segments:
const PMXlinelength = 128;
lines_in_paragraph = 100;
max_words = 128;
max_notes = 128;
max_bars = 16;
maxstaves = 15;
maxvoices = 15;
maxgroups = 3;
standardPMXvoices = 12;
Just change the ones you need and recompile. Of course, you need a PMX
that can handle it, which is not the one documented in pmxdoc.pdf.
