OK, I'm a programmer so usually use "make" for TeX files as I would for other projects and I've never had a problem with errorlevels in MiKTeX (make aborts on any stage if the errorlevel is non-zero).
Does this shell script improve the situation - you've stated that you're using WinXP so this file would be called musixtex.cmd rather than musixtex.bat (this seems acceptable as the latest version of MiKTeX is abandoning the 95/98/Me line) ---- BEGIN musixtex.cmd ---- @setlocal enableextensions @echo off if not exist %~n1.tex goto :EOF if exist %~n1.mx2 del %~n1.mx2 tex %* && musixflx %~n1 && tex %* && yap %~1.dvi ---- END musixtex.cmd ---- Deleting the .mx1 file is AFAIK unnecessary - musixtex.tex works out which stage it's at based on the presence of the .mx2 file - the first pass results are always overwritten in that instance.
