Many thanks again, Don!
do you have somewhere a font table for musixfont or a routine to
generate it?
Kind regards,
Dieter

What does the "{10}" actually mean?
There are two ways to refer to pitches in MusiXTeX: letters or
numbers. When you use a number, it represents the number of \internote
up from the bottom line of the staff, so for ANY 5-line staff, 0 is
the bottom line and 8 is the top line. The important difference is
that numbers do not affect MusiXTeX's transpose register. Because PMX
doesn't interpret any inline TeX, it's always best to use numbers for
pitches in in-line TeX commands. If you use a letter, the octave for
following stuff can get screwed up.

\coda{p} is not just a character, it's a command that roughly means
"put the coda symbol at pitch level p". (See musixtex.tex for its
definition). <D"text"> and <l> are rather similar commands in PMX,
placing text at a particular location, except that PMX calculates the
location. They expect simple text strings as input, not commands.
If you want more control over where the coda symbol goes, you first
need to figure out what character it is. One way to do that is by
looking at the definition of \coda in MusiXTeX. This eventually leads
to \musixfont\char85. So you could replace your use of "D..." as follows:
(beware of line folds)
=========================
% Bar 31
%r0b D"D. S. al \coda{10}\ Last time only" | /
\zcharnote{-6}{\it D. S.
al\kern8pt\lower4pt\hbox{\musixfont\char85}\kern6pt Last time only}\
rb0 | /
a0 t | /
% Bar 32
=========================
The inner braces isolate the effect of the font change. The other crap
is what TeX requires to line up the symbol. I confess that I started
out trying this inside D"..." and couldn't get it to work. I also
confess to being rather mystified why when I compiled your original
source the font for the text came out a different size.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear words like that :-)
