Hi Alexandros,
Sorry; I didn't actually know that my suggestion wouldn't work if the
document doesn't have at least one instance of \startpiece...\endpiece
vel sim. before the inline music stuff occurs. I've only ever needed
to do this in one file, and that file happens to be full of such
sections.
Anyway, here's a fix that works for me. Put this before the first
instance of inline music symbols (or right after \input musixtex to be
on the safe side):
\newbox\dummybox
\def\extractline{\setbox\dummybox\hbox}
\startextract\zendextract
There is evidently no law that says that, once you've defined the
contents of your dummybox, you've got to do a corresponding
~\unhcopy\dummybox anywhere to make its contents visible. So this
turns out to be a neat way to give TeX what it evidently wants, a
superfluous music system, while preventing the same from actually
showing up in the document.
I love it when a plan comes together. :)
Happy Easter!
Eva
