I assume you mean bar 2 of your extract, the first bar in the 2nd line.

Not for me with standard musixtex and standard pmx. All notes look well
positioned.

PMX shifts the barno to avoid a collision between the slur and the barno.
You may overfool PMX by ending the last line of bar 14 with e.g. 
"... g ] )A+5+3.9" and continuing that voice in bar 15 with "(A+6-2 f8 ..."

Don Simons has provided something to keep \raisebarno accessible to the
user although PMX uses \raisebarno itsself. But up to now I didn't understand
how this works (maybe because I use my own routine for writing the barnumbers).
So I use in such cases \gdef\atnextline{\def\raisbarno{3.5\internote}}\ just
in front of the "g", the last note in bar 14.

I have to remove your addition to get the "gr" at the right position. And
the all notes in the example look well positioned.


If you add e.g "\off{-0.6\elemskip}\" at some place within a PMX-source
you normally have to provide "\off{+0.6\elemskip}\" at some other place
very near to the first place.

Have a look how the music ends. With PMX it often ends with \Endpiece.
So you may re-define \Endpiece within your PMX source so that it 
makes what you want e.g. at the top of a PMX-source:

\\let\Endpiecesav\Endpiece\
\\def\Endpiece{\let\Endpiece\Endpiecesav\Endpiece\...do-what-you-want...}

...do-what-you-want can be e.g. \input myremark and myremark.tex may contain:

\vfill\eject This music has been typeset with the wonderful MusiXTeX and 
the wonderful PMX by ...


Such constructs have been used by some PMX-sources on 
http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/scores/ e.g. the latest delivery: a one
volume edition of Christian Mondrup's song on texts by Jeppe Aakj�r.
