I've tried a black-box substitution of the new proposed musixtex and
musixmad in a tex file using Type K postscript slurs, and it fails as
follows:
==============================================================
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (MiKTeX 2.1)
(moresl.tex (moreslurs/musixtexx.tex
MusiXTeX(c) T.112 +infinite slur ID number extention <3 Jan. 2003 +29 Aug.

) (C:\localtexmf\tex\generic\pmx\pmx.tex
PMX, a Preprocessor for MusiXTeX, Version 2.502a <29 March 04>
) (moreslurs/musixmadx.tex (moreslurs/musixaddx.tex

==============================================================
If I haven't done anything stupid here, then it suggests the new files are
incompatible with Type K slurs. I would ask others to perform some similar
tests and report results to the list. If the new proposed files were 100%
compatible with Type-K postscript slurs then I would support making them
official (after a reasonable beta-test period). Otherwise, since I've
invested so heavily in making PMX use Type-K slurs, I could not personally
support such a change.
