(Lack of) progress report:
1. In a Windows command window, I've succeeded in creating *.tex for all of
the *.mtx, using only commands starting with
"for %a in (*."
In the process I figured out how to pass only the basenames of all *.pmx to
musixflx with
"for %a in (*.pmx) do musixflx %~na"
2. I've succeeded in creating *.ps for all those tex files, again using
"for" commands. But evidently my TeX system lacks the control sequence
\textit.
3. I got the latex compilation started. During that I had to let MiKTeX
install a bunch of packages it was missing. Then it even seemed to process
some of the inserted tex files after I included \usepackage{etex} as
suggested. But it choked on "\input netsoos1.tex". Looking in the makefile
it appears that this and various other *.tex are created on the fly by
merging various *.mta and *.mtb files.
At that point it transitioned from adventure to slog, and I threw in the
towel, leaving the keys to this forbidden kingdom to the Unix gurus for the
time being.
