I never use the I-part of the A-command.
Because I don't like non-integer interstaffs, a lot of my pmx-source
contain something like
\\let\interstaffsav\interstaff\
\\def\interstaff#1{}\
\\interstaffsav{11}\
...
\\\interstaffsav{10}\
Ln
...
\\\interstaffsav{12}\
L<n+1>

In-line Tex belongs to the _next_ note or rest in PMX. Maybe
f f f \caesure\ f or f f f \roffset2{\caesura}\ f
produces what you want.

It's not provided by MusiXTeX that way. The height of the beam-stems are
defined using the right pitch in \ibl or \ibu.

For me a similar procedure works. I use:
\startmuflex\let\startmuflex\empty
\let\endmuflexsav\endmuflex\let\endmuflex\endinput
\input pmxtex1
\input pmxtex2
...
\input pmxtexn
\endmuflexsav
\bye
(from memory :-)
Please send the complete example if this does not help.

I don't understand this question. Maybe your problem can be solved with
PMX's macro feature:
\\\input lyrics1
% song1
MR1 ... M /
MR2 ... M /
...
MR9 ... M /
\\\input lyrics2
MP1 /
MP2 /
...
MP9 /
