Up to now PMX does not support triplets which contain a quadruplet
for one of the three notes of the triplet. But: in the year 2525 ...
Nevertheless in-line TeX makes it possible and the spacing of the
solution is better than that of your attachment:

And for me it's readable :-)
And maybe better readable than your MusiXTeX solution if that is
modified to ensure correct spacing.

PS: Your attachment was LaTeX plus MusiXTeX. If LaTeX isn't really
neccessary for the music then I would drop LaTeX to avoid
trouble when e.g. musixmad.tex is required.
