I think that parindent is not the proper mechanism for indenting
musical examples, they're not paragraphs after all. The separate
first-line indent for music can not be controlled from (la)tex anyway,
and for indenting all pieces of music, there are other
options. (eg. plaintex \narrower, if memory serves me.).  OTOH, I'll
settle for latex <output>.  I had to do something, otherwise HTML
output is completely messed up.
