Don: The current convention in both MiKTeX and TeXLive is to put dvips
map files in

fonts/map/dvips/<package>/

Presumably MiKTeX needed musix.map to run dvips and looked in

fonts/map/dvips/musixtex 

because that's where its data base says the file would be. It then
asked to install musixtex because it doesn't know Dieter has installed
musixtex on his own. (BTW, in an updated MiKTeX system, the relevant
<package> name would be musixtex-fonts.) I don't know how fussy MiKTeX
is about locations of map files.
