Re: MusixTex
first of all, welcome to the community

MusixTeX is part of TeX Live and should be installed with MacTeX. As musixflx is part of musixtex, it should be installed as well.
The Lua script musixflx determines the right spacing, you have to run it on the command line, or tell your editor to run it.
I never used musixtex so far, so i can't give any further advice.

MusixTex
The command line is the non-graphical interface to your operating system. How to open it depends on your operating system. It is also called terminal, console or command prompt.
If the whole musixtex bundle is installed with your TeX distribution, the lua script will be available as well.
Open the commandline and switch to the folder containing your tex-file.
I don't know the name of your file, maybe it is main.tex maybe lisztDream.tex. However, in the command line you have to call
Code: Select all
musixflx lisztDream
You can read much more about it in Clemens' short tutorial.
MusixTex

well here is my code:

MusixTex
Instead of biber, you write musixflx.
You shold now have musixflx available in texworks and can run the sequence described by Clemens.
