Usually I use Linux, but I installed LiveTeX just for interest on Windows 7. After making the same modification as you and using barsant.pmx as testfile pmx2pdf works fine. Then I created barsant.dvi by pmxab barsant, etex barsant, musixflx barsant, etex barsant. Starting dviout I got "did not find psslurs.pro" although psslurs.pro exist in ...\texmf-dist\dvips\musixtex\. According with my linux-installation I inserted ...\texmf-dist\dvips\pstricks\ and copied psslurs.pro into, but dviout gives the same error message. I think that this is a problem of dviout itself because dvips for example finds the correct place of psslurs.pro and works as it should.
