Thanks, Bob. I hadn't noticed the error message. If you avoid musixflx,
don't you need to calculate \elemskip by hand? If so, that doesn't seem like
much of a solution.

Adding more bars doesn't seem to matter. 253pt seems to be a magical maximum
\parindent. 

I tried setting \mulooseless=-1 as in the musixdoc example, and got the same
result. I also tried removing the \afterruleskip, but that didn't matter
either. 

I'm not up to digging into musixflx. But this limitation is very annoying,
as it means without somehow bypassing musixflx, you could not create a
short, single-line coda at the end of the last line by using \parindent
(which is what happens when you use PMX's new movement command M with the
"i" option). And for a normal PMX user, bypassing musixflx is definitely not
an option either.

In a private email, Dirk Baack recently responded to my request by
suggesting PMX allow "A last line starting _not_ a the left hand side, but
in the middle of the line (with Coda-sign) and going to the end of the
line." I responded saying you could already do this with the M command and
the "i" option. Unless someone steps up and fixes this mulooseness problem,
my proposal will not work with indents that are above the 253pt threshhold.
