Yes: Yikes!!!  How could you have survived so long without changing clefs?
You can do it anywhere, anytime, to any clef, with the "C" command.

Only had one hour so I just did one page.  I didn't do the fine editing, and
this does expose some "issues" with the postscript slurs.  But there's no
problem with the vertical spacing.

doesn't think *.pmx files are worthy of being uploaded :-( ]

Were you unaware of the "Ae" option?

I  can do it but this week i am in a (Bach)song course, and i only have time at night. 
On Saturday i
can have it.

I do not see why you should not fit a piece on two pages in pmx, if you can do it in 
musixtex.

You also may have a look at Beethoven's allegro molto ( the 4 hands part and also ie. 
piano 1, with
8 systems on a page)

I know what large job you did and i admire it veru much. The last sheet i did on 
musixtex was
Laudate Domininum (Mozart), then Werner Icking convinced me to pmx, my production of 
sheets is now
1000 times faster (or is it 100 times?), and a little bit more accurate, because i can 
listen to the
midifiles.

In that case, I write:

  \rlap{\sk\isluru0j}\Dqbl{_k}j

Thus, the slur starts at the position of the "j", not one \noteskip
after.

Correct.

BTW: personally I prefer to distinguish the slurs (which mean "legato")
and the ties (which mean "not repeated").
Therefore, if it is a tie (likely when looking at your code), I would
replace "\isluru0j" by "\itenu0j" (with the same \rlap) and the
"\tslur0j" by "\tten0".

Has anybody a couple of hours to waste for a test, to convince me
how PMX is more efficient than MusiXTeX ?

Just typeset the first two pages of Dussek's sonata op.35#3, present
on our Archive, so that it still fits on only *two* pages.
(The MusiXTeX source is also available)

Nevertheless, it would be a very welcome addition to MusixTeX and I do
hope Daniel goes ahead and implements it. I don't use the
preprocessors as it just isn't feasible to typeset complex classical
guitar scores with them; you have to add so much inline TeX that the
advantages of faster coding are cancelled out. 

Please, Daniel, go ahead and do it, using whichever option you prefer.
The effort *is* worth your time, and the plain-MusixTeXers out there
will be grateful.
