Hi Cornelius: Further to my earlier comment, I have been following the exchange between Don and Philip. In the Debian distribution I just run mtx file, and then run pmx file. I think pmx runs a a script which does the texing. So the question of my using tex or etex does not arise.
I did use etex on the tex file produced by pmx and it ran without any error. As I said earlier, all the notes on a line are moved to the left and scrunched together. Phillip had suggested that romoving the .mx1 and .mx2 files solved his problem. I only found a .mx1 and I removed it, but the problem of a poor .dvi file still remains. This may have something to do with the .tex file produced by pmx. I ran tex on the example .tex files in the musixtex package and they gave no problem either compiling or in the dvi file. Sebastian
