Thank you, but while I agree that his instructions are very comprehensible, they are also regrettably out of date. The current MiKTeX installer (well, reasonably current: I'm using 2.1) does the whole job of installation without requiring manual editing of autoexec.bat. Indeed, no path entries in autoexec.bat are needed at all any more for MiKTeX. Perhaps more seriously, the new MikTeX installer does not place MusixTeX-related files in the local texmf tree at all. Fonts go to C:\texmf\fonts\tfm\public\musixtex; musixtex.tex lives at C:\texmf\tex\generic\musixtex. It might be wise to respect that even when manually installing MusixTeX from a zip file unless it's very certain that, if one subsequently ever tries upgrading MusixTeX via MikTeX's update utility from a CAB file, this will find the files in the local texmf tree and update them there rather than blindly putting them where *it* thinks they should go and thus leaving the system with both an old and a new copy of MusiXTeX present. Either way, the current state of Christof's documentation severely diminishes its value as an aid to installing MusixTeX under more current versions of MiKTeX -- which is why I asked on the list in the first place...
