I've just put together a new version of PMX that accommodates the recent
changes in MusiXTeX. My zip file is available at
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/pmx/pmx271.zip
This focuses on Windows systems, containing only Windows executables, and
guidance for manual upgrading within Windows-centric file structures.
Bob Tennant has added to this and rearranged it into a TDS-compliant
structure, with executables compiled for Windows (32 and 64 bit) and OSX,
and a pmx.tds.zip file to unzip at the root of a local or personal texmf
tree:

The most important point about this new version is that it REQUIRES MusiXTeX
1.21 along with the new pmx.tex; results will be unreliable otherwise. But
old PMX source files should work just fine with the new setup. In fact, I
would really appreciate as much testing as possible of old
I've tested the newest versions of M-Tx and PMX on some engravings from
my complete edition of the madrigal collection 'Selva di varia
ricreatione' by Orazio Vecchi
http://imslp.org/wiki/Selva_di_varia_ricreatione_(Vecchi,_Orazio)
Judged on 2 vocal pieces and a piece including a lute tablature Both
preprocessors work as they should.
I encountered problems, though, while testing the score including a
tablature. Ronald Gelten's tablature software, 'tabdefs'
http://icking-music-archive.org/software/musixtex/add-ons/tabdefs.tex
doesn't work with pdftex. So when I do the processing through
musixtex.lua I need to apply option '-d' (process through dvipdfm). That
works as expected. But when I wanted to test the .ps result and applied
the option '-g' (stop at postscript level) I got no postscript output
file. When I look at the log file I notice that the postscript output
file has been removed!
I suspect there is a bug in function process_option within musixtex.lua
Greetings and Happy New Year to all
