I don't see that. Which notes are shifted?
>In mesure 16

I removed the last two in-line tex sequences and the right-shift is now
exactly what it is intended to be: 1 notehead width. If you want some other
value for the shift, you could use something like
... X.8S g8 ...

Using \off{...} is dangerous because it inserts unaccounted space. Were you
trying to compensate with X.6? If so, there are several reasons why that
wouldn't work, among them that the argument of X is in notehead widths, not
\elemskips. If you really need to use \off{x} you should immediately follow
the shifted material with \off{-x}, and you probably shouldn't have any pmx
commands between the two \off's. The MusiXTeX commands \roff, \roffset,
\hroff will do a shift expressed in notehead widths, and that is how X.8S
works. But you should also realize that you cannot nest these MusiXTeX
commands, because they define an internal variable that holds the amount of
the shift until after it is finished.
