I believe the TDS zip file somehow didn't get installed at CTAN though I think it was uploaded; that meant that TeXLive developers had to guess where to put files and it was incorrectly assumed that pmx.tex was documentation. Yesterday I uploaded version 2.6.19 to CTAN but I don't think Robin has installed it yet. And because that includes a new pmxab, texlive won't install it until texlive-2013. Really bad timing here. >|On a related note, and before I did the above test, I was explaining to a >|Mac-head friend about the supposedly new and seamless way that people can >|get tex, musixtex, and pmx from online archives.

Sounds like he did a "minimal" install, which is at the other extreme. What he should in principle do now is install the necessary packages tlmgr install musixtex musixtex-fonts pmx m-tx or all the music-related packages: tlmgr install collection-music. But it's likely that pmx.tex will be in the wrong location. Thanks for the report. I'll try and get it fixed ASAP. If you copy c:/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/doc/generic/pmx/pmx.tex to your working directory, everything should work.
