Thank you for your response Dieter. As Bob said, my problem wasn't connected to the using of MusiXTeX itself, but rather its installation. And Bob patiently helped me solve them :) However, I'll take a look at PMX! Bob: The using of a 32bits program on a 64bits windows system is usually not a problem, is it? (unless Miktex is a well known exception?) There is always potential for trouble running 32 bit software under 64 bit Windows - when you run a 32 bit program, you are, to a reasonable simplification, running it in a separate copy of Windows (see C:\Windows\SYSWOW64 vs C:\WINDOWS\system32 - though confusingly the former is your 32 bit software and the latter your 64 bit software!) In general, if a 64 bit version of a product is available, you should use it - if you should be breaking that rule, you'll already know why (if you see what I mean!)
