1. In case (1), will the old MusiXTeX files still be there?
If musixtex is installed with the batch files (or with the batch files as an
example), then the old musixtex files will be there (they are in
musixtexmf).
I think, the musixtexmf dir must be redefined in miktex as a root dir.
2. In case (2) is there any better choice than to completely redo the entire
MusiXTeX (TDS-compliant) installation process?
We could make a batch file that copy only the miktex files, simply
overwriting the old ones in musixtex.
3. Is there any better way to upgrade MiKTeX (while keeping the same
MusiXTeX) than either case (1) or case (2)?
We don't know which files in miktex are updated, the simpliest way is copy
all tne necessary files.
Question: should we left out the pdf musix.map in the installation
procedure, as stated in previous mail in the list?

Subject: [Tex-music] MusiXTeX file locations in Windows
I know I could get answers to some of my questions by doing some testing,
but I thought maybe someone could respond authoritatively enough to save me
that trouble.
The basic question here is how to avoid reinstalling MusiXTeX if you upgrade
your TeX system. Suppose you are using Windoze and MiKTeX 2.8, with TeX root
path is the default c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8 . If you had followed the
default MusiXTeX installation procedure given in mxinsuse.pdf which is
included with musixtex.zip (1.15) in WIMA, your MusiXTeX files would be
somewhere else. Now to upgrade to MiKTeX 2.9, no matter how you replace the
TeX files, MusiXTeX would be intact---still somewhere else---and at most
you'd have update some path variables and (new) TeX config files.
On the other hand, suppose you had followed the instructions included with
the CTAN, TDS-compliant MusiXTeX version. Then as I understand it the
MusiXTeX files would be intermingled with the TeX files in various
subfolders below the TeX root at c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8 . Now it seems
there are several options, among them (1) Rename the existing root to MiKTeX
2.9; then perform the default MiKTeX 2.9 installation; or (2) Use the new
default MiKTeX root c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9. Questions:
1. In case (1), will the old MusiXTeX files still be there?
2. In case (2) is there any better choice than to completely redo the entire
MusiXTeX (TDS-compliant) installation process?
3. Is there any better way to upgrade MiKTeX (while keeping the same
MusiXTeX) than either case (1) or case (2)?
