Apologies about this request: I'm still running MusiXTeX T.112 rather than the latest version and so haven't checked this issue "properly". Hopefully it's a very quick answer for any MusiXTeXnician looking at this!
I hit an unexpected problem placing \startpiece...\endpiece inside a \vbox in order to prevent TeX breaking the pages between lines of a score (a hymn tune, in fact). I have after much head-scratching determined that the problem was that I had no \startmuflex in my document. This resulted in the message "\startmuflex launched by \startpiece" appearing for every piece of music in the document (they're all enclosed in their own \vbox'es) and the results are a disaster (not to mention the number of \inline= requests that you get running TeX). Placing \startmuflex after \input musixtex was an or removing the enclosing \vbox'es created instant fixes. <Dons TeX Grand Master hat> Whatever \startmuflex does, shouldn't it do it \global'ly given that it's operating on files that will be left open and updating global document state? <Dons not-very-good-at-MusiXTeX hat> That said, my major problem with this was that it took ages to figure out what was wrong - especially given that the T.112 manual strongly hints that there's no *need* to call \startmuflex. <Keeps said hat on> Is there a better way of inhibiting page breaks in a MusiXTeX score or is the \vbox sledgehammer the only way?
