Hi, Thank you all for your help. It was line-endings after all, after EDIT in DOS, add some spaces and exit and save it worked. So I'm happy now.
I subscribed only yesterday and I'm very glad that there is so much expertise available. M-Tx saves really a lot of TeX-typing, so if I can really use it, I'll be very glad.

The example scores have UNIX line endings, and if you run those through prepmx without converting them to DOS line endings you get the error message you described. So the answer is to convert the example scores to DOS line endings. This is done automagically if you use "unzip" with the "-a" option; this is stated in the "README" file. I'm not sure if WinZip can do this automagically; if not, you can do as stated in the "README" file under "Text file formats" or use a separate tool for converting, such as e.g. "tofrodos" ( http://www.thefreecountry.com/tofrodos/index.shtml ).
