In-line TeX commands in PMX always belong to the _next_ main note or
rest. There are only few PMX commands which are sensitive to the optional 
bar indicator "|" ( X, Rx ).

Instead of \caesura\ behind the note it belongs to, you may use 
\sk\caesura\bsk\ just before the note it belongs to.

In rare case you have to use in addition for fine-tuning

  either \sk\loffset{?.??}{\caesura}\bsk\
  or     \sk\roffset{?.??}{\caesura}\bsk\

The "\sk...\bsk\" trick used with the last note in a bar is useful
whenever you want to position something at the end of the current
bar (and not in the next line of music if there is a line break)
e.g. \sk\lcharnote{-5}{Da capo al segno}\bsk.
