MusiXTeX is a three-pass system.  It uses an external program called
musixflex to calculate the spacing of the notes.  To compile your
MusiXTeX jobname.tex file, you may use:

     musixtex jobname.tex
     
The script calls TeX ==> musixflex ==> TeX on jobname.tex to save
your time to do it manually.

If you prefer to do it manually, try:

 tex jobname.tex ; musixflx jobname ; tex jobname.tex

For LaTeX MusiXTeX files, use the following instead:

 latex jobname.tex; musixflx jobname; latex jobname.tex
