By adding a little in-line musixtex it is possible to get something like
tabdefs.tex within mtx/pmx, for example:
Meter: C
MyStyle: Voices V1,V2 V3; Choral; Clefs G8 G
Style: MyStyle
Space: 2 0
%% \def\gf#1#2{\lower 1\internote\hbox{\zcharnote{#1}{#2}}}
%% \\setlines{1}{6}\setsize{1}\largevalue\setclefsymbol1\empty\

There are some unsolved problems, however, in this example. For example
an appropriate vertical offset of the commom meter symbol and the
suppression of key signatures in the "tablature" staff. I deliberately
omitted the single sharp belonging to key in this example, e minor.
Maybe some of the MusixTex wizzards in this audience will come up with
solutions:-)
