I know this from my experience with many M-Tx scores. This is due to using in the preamble "Bars/line: ". I use this in the first run but to get a pleasant layout one has to specify "Pages: " and "Systems: " and if necessary distribute the systems by the PMX commands "Ln " and "LnPm" Hermann > > The musixadd issue is probably related (in a way I haven't worked out in > detail) to assumptions I made in PMX 2.603, namely that it would always > use MusiXteX 1.15 or better, and therefore never require musixadd, > musixmad, or musixuad. > > Bad news is that I couldn't get prepmx to process Sanctus.mtx at all.
