I've just put together a new version of PMX that accommodates the recent
changes in MusiXTeX. My zip file is available at

http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmx271.zip

This focuses on Windows systems, containing only Windows executables, and
guidance for manual upgrading within Windows-centric file structures.

Bob Tennant has added to this and rearranged it into a TDS-compliant
structure, with executables compiled for Windows (32 and 64 bit) and OSX,
and a pmx.tds.zip file to unzip at the root of a local or personal texmf
tree:

The most important point about this new version is that it REQUIRES MusiXTeX
1.21 along with the new pmx.tex; results will be unreliable otherwise. But
old PMX source files should work just fine with the new setup. In fact, I
would really appreciate as much testing as possible of old (and new)
sources.

The specific changes since Version 2.70 are as follows:

.Octave treble clef ("C8" command).
.In figured bass, apply vertical shift for remainder of line with option
"v[-](number)" to the figure command
.Internal changes in multi-bar rests to accommodate changes in musixtex.tex.
.Slurs aligned with stem ends, postscript slurs only, option "v" on a slur
command.
.Coda "oC".
.New, smaller segno "oG". Unlike "og", must enter on every staff, and may be
repositioned just like a normal ornament.
