Actually I do have an issue with producing musixdoc.pdf: The internal links
do not work. So I tried my same scheme on the PMX manual, and its internal
links did not work either. Both of these used 64-bit dvips that came with
MiKTeX, and 64-bit ghostview to make the pdf. So I tried making the pdf of
the pmx doc using acrobat distiller, and the internal links worked. I guess
that's good news, but the bad news is that distiller wouldn't even process
musixdoc.ps, it claimed there was a postscript error:

===============================================

So as things now stand, if I were still responsible for musixdoc (which I'm
not, thanks Bob!) I wouldn't be able to make a pdf of it with working
internal hyperlinks.

I too hate LaTeX :-) and I was thinking that was my remark, but consistent
with Dirk's comments, it was there in a 1988 version of musixdoc.tex, before
I had done anything to it.
