I try to compile my score (prepared with MusiXTex package) by following the three-pass system as described here (pt. 1.3). Accordingly, I run etex on my tex file, then I run musixflx on the .mx1 file created in the previous step and then I run etex again. The problem is, it yields no result (I mean the pdf output remains unchanged). I think that it may have something to do with the fact that the .mx2 file produced by executing the second pass (running musixflx) seems to be empty. I use TeXStudio editor and TeXLive distribution.

Here's my MWE:

I'd be much grateful for any help.

I tried your sample with latex musixflx and latex process, for me it seems the sample itself produces no .mx2 file.

The documentation says the best example is the documentation itself, why not you have a try?

Here, I attach to you a useful tool makefile, it could be super easy with command line.

# $ make, to run commands in this file

# $ make read, to read the pdf file

# $ make clean, to clean the inter file
