Thorsten, these are good questions.  I know they're good because none of the
situations you are asking about can be handled with PMX commands.  However,
you can mix TeX commands with PMX by using the in-line TeX facility.  I'm
certain all except possibly the 3rd can be handled this way.  I won't take
the time right now to look up the exact TeX syntax (you can look in the
MusiXTeX manual), but I believe for the first two the TeX commands
are\nobarnumers and \f , \ff , etc. And remember to follow in-line TeX
commands with "\"

For the title, instrument, or composer you can define whatever font you want
(with in-line TeX or use a pre-defined one), and then on the line in the PMX
file where you input the text string, just put

\myfont Sonata for Piccolo and Kazoo 

Some version of dynamics will probably appear in the next release of PMX,
but please don't hold your breath.
