Hi Rodolfo,
I join in on the recommendations of Don. You will be much, much faster
with PMX than with plain MusixTeX,
The best introduction to PMX is the tutorial
<http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmxccn.pdf>
Once you have got some experience with PMX, you might also be interested
in XML2PMX, a converter
from MusicXML (Recordare Inc.) to PMX. There is a lot of notes in
XML-format around in the net.
XML2PMX is right now in beta test. You find it here:

Rodolfo--
I don't think you're going to find an archive specifically for MusiXTeX
sources. There are some scattered through IMSLP.
But since you plan to keep on typesetting and already have MusiXTeX working,
let me suggest that it would be easy for you to give PMX a try. It is a
preprocessor for MusiXTeX which uses a MUCH simpler input language than TeX.
And in case there are things you want to do that are not built into PMX, you
can easily include TeX commands in the PMX source. (That would apply to your
fingering numbers). For example, leaving out the fingerings for this demo,
here's the fully functional PMX source for the first system of your Bach
piece:
================================
2 1 3 4 3 4 0 1
1 1 20 0

o. | c o. d8 s c b a /
================================
If you have any questions or problems with PMX, there are lots of people on
this mailing list who are happy to help.

Subject: [Tex-music] musix-tex sources repositories?
Dear all tex-musix users,
first of all, it is a real luck that such a software exists, thanks to its
author...
and happily I feel to be part of the community.
I've sometimes downloaded classical music scores in PDF format from
http://imslp.org
, a great repository. Now, I wish there was something similar - not so
big, of
course -, anyway a repository of tex-musix source files. The one at CTAN:
https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/musixtex/doc/examples
is much too poor. In other words, what I'm searching for is a sharing of
tex-
musix source files among its users. I've written in musix-tex language a
menuet by J. S. Bach that I'm attaching. I'm now working at Bach's three
voice invention in C major, and a lot of other piano works I intend to
write in
future: so I was wondering if this job could be shortened down in the case
someone else has already partly done it. The reason for which I need that
is
having my sheet music in digital format with the possibility of changing
at my
pleasure the fingering (and the `pizzicato' and `legato' indications).
Another
way to achieve that purpose would certainly be to use a scanner, but...
much
less comfortable, of course.
Thanks very much for any help,
Regards,
Rodolfo Medina
