I think that the actual problem is that the MusiXTeX manual is written in
LaTeX, not Plain TeX.
Note that \usepackage{musixtex} is different from \input musixtex because
the former loads musixtex.sty (and so musixltx.tex) which sets up the
{music} environment.
The easiest fix for copying samples from musixdoc.tex is to use this
template:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{musixtex}
\begin{document}
\begin{music}
% copied sample
\end{music}
\end{document}
and compile using *LaTeX*. If you really want to stick with Plain TeX then
you must ignore the \begin{music} and \end{music} lines and use this general
template:
\input musixtex
% copied sample without the \begin{music} and \end{music}
\bye
I'm confused however as you say that \setstaffs was causing an error and
wonder if you were perhaps compiling with LaTeX originally but without a
\documentclass call (or \usepackage) and so getting the wrong error message.

The Mozart excerpt *is* on "Page 3" (page 10 of the PDF). Page 3 of the PDF
is "Page iii" (Preface to T.113') :o)
