You should normally not have to change stuff in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/. You also do not need to duplicate the
entire hierarchy (the readme and the we page explain this). As I recall,
your TeX was unable to find a .sty file when running LATeX. If you
create the directory ~/Library/texmf/tex and put the .sty file there
(or in any subfolder) it should be found.
You wrote
> I'd put musixtex.sty in ~/Library/texmf
which both the README and the web site make clear: you need at least to
have one subdirectory below that level, so ~/Library/texmf/tex for .sty
files and ~/Library/texmf/fonts. If that is not clear from README and
web site, I need to change the wording.
If you place the stuff in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf it will be
overwritten when you upgrade the main texmf tree. At least put it in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/ (which is also where yo can put
stuff to have it available for any user on your system). And when you do
put anything in /usr/local/teTeX/share you need to run
sudo texhash
before TeX can find it at all.
Wrt to dvipdfm, this is an app that does not follow these mechanisms as
far as I am aware (not much), so I cannot comment.
