Looking in musixtex.tex you'll find the following lines (from line 36 on)

Adding \def\documentstyle{} to the top of your extract solves the problem
of page format/centering. The margins come out like you've coded it in the
example. I didn't investigate further the font changing, but I guess it is
something similar. The easiest way to solve this would be first to \input
musixtex and then to set the actual font (That's what you are doing in PMX
generated TeX input files, I guess, when you first \input musixtex.tex and
afterwards pmx.tex)

TeX capacity defines the amount of main TeX memory - for storing the contents of all pending boxes, for example. There is no need to make it platform independent - there are applications demanding a lot of memory and others running on a low-powered machines. Besides, changing this number is allowed without recompilation in most implementations, usually even without creating a new format. It would be very disturbing for D.E.Knuth to change the TeX parameters each time the size of average computer's memory increases :-) Stanislav. ___ TeX-music mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sunsite.dk/mailman/listinfo/tex-music

Thanks Andre. Maybe it's time for me to switch over to MikTeX. emtex gave
a "TeX capacity exceeded" error. But it did work with my test setup of
MikTeX.
This surprises me, because I thought the "TeX capacity" (whatever it is) was
a fixed, platform-independent number. I recall reading something about
Knuth requiring that certain aspects of the guts of TeX never be changed by
anyone except him.

Perhaps musixtex redefines the line lenght?
I tried accollades:
{\input musixtex
...
\endextract % terminate excerpt
}%
The output is in that case very normal

[TeX-music] Can't get extract to work with plain TeX.
Can anyone see why the extract is screwing up the page layout (width, font,
and indentation)? If I comment it out, the page is centered differently
(properly) and the width is constant like it should be.
