musixdoc.pdf is very clear that \systemheight is "NOT to be changed" (in italics). A simple test shows that \systemheight has correct values for 3 or more lines (though not for \setlines12). There's an example with \setlines(n}1 in subsection 25.20 for musixper in musixdoc.pdf. If you comment out \sepbarrules, you'll get bar lines that cross the single-line staff, which might be what you want. I don't understand why you want "full-height bar lines" or even what that means when the relevant staff has zero height. In my opinion, systemheight of 0pt for \setlines11 is correct, though it seems you want something different and apparently it was different "some time ago". The code for determining \systemheight in current musixtex.tex is attributed to Werner Icking and is undated.
