Hello everyone,
As the responses still seem to be trickling in, let me just note that
Daniel Taupin wrote to me off-list with the easiest solution of the
lot:
\sh1, \fl1, \qu1 etc. etc. inserted anywhere in the text will do the
job without requiring lots of elaborate \def-ing beforehand. For best
results, \tinynotesize should be specified, and in the case of notes,
the non-spacing varieties (with interpolated \qsk as necessary)
produce the most visually pleasing result.
I assume this presupposes that \input musixtex has been stated at the
start of the file; in the document I'm producing this is the case
anyway as it's mostly music.
Thanks again to Daniel, and thanks to everyone else who took the time
to respond.
Eva
