Ok, I try because I always use note-names a ... g or A ... G:
1 1 3 4 3 4 0 0
1 1 20 0
t
./
% \ppt5\ c45 rbd8 d1 e4 | \ppt6\ d45 rbd8 e1 f4 /
\relax{\ppt{!'c}}\ c45d r1b d1 e4 | \relax{\ppt{!'d}}\ d4d r1b e1 f4 /
"!" makes the pitch independent of the PMX-generated surrounding;
"\relax{...}" keeps the octaviation by "'" local.
One could use e.g. "X.-5 r1b" instead of "r1b" to compensate partly the
too big spacing by "r1b" (Korinthenkackerei, peanuts, ... :-)
