Raphaela: It *is* working as intended. But the musixtex script
generates dvi files. You can convert dvi to pdf by using standard
tools (dvips and ps2pdf).

No.  Your next step is one of the following:

 + download and use musixtex.lua from CTAN or WIMA

 + add testing or unstable repositories to your package manager and
   update musixtex

 + actually follow the instructions for installing TeXLive itself 
   (*not* using your package manager)
