As Rainer Dunker tells in a later mail the problem is that PMX changes
score attributes before issuing \stoppiece. \newnoi changes number
of instruments in a very complicated way just after the last bar, but
before \stoppiece. Next \setstaffs is used, too, before \stoppiece.
All this is incompatible with proper MusiXTeX usage and works well
only sometimes. In the specific case and maybe in some others, too
following circumvention may help. A real solution has to be done
in pmxab.exe to generate the code where it has to be generated.
Here's my dirty circumvention which is based on TeX's excellent
pattern matching to change \newnoi[...]\newmovement so that
"\newnoi[...]" is executed just before \startpiece within
\newmovement :-(
