Part of the problem can be that PMX posts "\\\...\"  a little bit too
early in case of movement breaks. It's posted before the previous
movement is closed - something like:

  \Notes...\en
  \settrebleclefsymbol...
  \grouptop ...
  \stoppiece
  ...
  \startpiece
  
IIRC I could solve such problem by intercepting \startpiece. Following
may help - from memory, untested:

\\\let\startpiecesav\startpiece\
\\\def\startpiece{\let\startpiece\startpiecesav\
 \\\settrebleclefsymbol{2}\treblelowoct\
 \\\grouptop14\groupbottom11\
 \\\startpiece}\

Complain if it doesn't work. I remember that there were problems,
because PMX's \newmovement macro itself intercepts some standard
musixtex macros. At the moment I'm too lazy to look were I used
this. One possibility is my contribution to Andr� Van Ryckeghem's
collection of canons which is at http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/scores/
under "misc.". In the source it is "canonick.pmx".
