Mtx title and composer/poet name(s) are handled by pmx through a macro
\titles in pmx.tex. A way to achieving influence on the vertical
spacings around these names is to overrule the pmx generated spacings by
defining you own \titles macro:
\edef\catcodeat{\the\catcode`\@}\catcode`\@=11
%
\def\titles#1#2#3#4#5#6#7{\kern-\lin@pos%
\kern-3.2\Interligne\kern-\parindent\kern-\afterruleskip%
\kern-\sign@skip%
%
% Distance before title section
%
\vbox{\vskip 0\Interligne
\ifx\relax#2\relax\else\leftline{\Bigtype #2}\fi\vskip #3\Interligne%
\ifx\relax#4\relax\else\centerline{\BIGtype #4}\fi
%
% Distance before composer and poet
%
\vskip 0\Interligne%
\ifx\relax#6\relax\else\rightline{\Bigtype #6}\fi
%
% Distance after composer and poet
%
\vskip 0\Interligne}}%
%
\catcode`\@=\catcodeat
In the above version of the macro the distances used for the mtx title
and composer/poet names are neutralized by replacing the parameterized
\Interligne factors (#1 #5 and #7) by fixed zero values.
Now in the mtx source file you may include a file containing this macro
with the above mentioned fixed \Interligne factors adapted for your
needs, for example:
%% \input pmxtitles
Meter: C
Style: Solo
Title: Title
Composer: Composer
Poet: Poet
g4 g g g | g g g g | g g g g | g0
Maybe some some pmx/MusixTex-ian might come up with a more simpel
solution:-)
