For features up to now not implemented in PMX you may use the various
types of in-line TeX supported by PMX:

\\nobarnumbers\

\zcharnote{-5}{\pp}\
or
\\def\Forte#1{\dyn{#1}{\f}\
\\def\dyn#1#2{\zcharnote{-#1}{#2}\
...
... \Forte5\ a24 ...

Don't know. I don't know whether this is supported by MusiXTeX like e.g.
octlines.
> - How can i controll the size of the title,instrument or other text
e.g.
\\def\mytitle{\smalltype ... ganz viel blabla ...}\
Tt
{\mytitle}
...
\\\def\mytext{\BIGType Allegro}\
h
{\mytext}
Both are untested. If they work they may be in conflict with PMX's computations
of vertical space consumption.

Maybe these questions have already been asked and answered earlier in
this mailing list. I know that searching the mailing list isn't supported
well and that it is more difficult than neccessary because posters don't
use well formulated subjects (:-(). But you may fetch the complete archive
from http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/ and then search it e.g. with your favorite
programmable editor.
Also there were various attempts for a FAQ which all terminated in the very
beginning.
Additional help can be found reading the source of the many music editions
on http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/scores/
