To make a long story short: PMX's blank rests solve the problem as
I discussed it with Mike.
Instead of MusiXTeX and tabdef.tex
> \notesp\tab40&\ql d\en
> \notesp\chotab40\chotab25\tab18&\zql d\zqp l\qup q\en
you may write with PMX:
\tab40\bsk\ r4b \chotab40\chotab25\tab18\bsk\ rdb /
d44 d r8b //
r4b e45d zc+ /
With following redefinition:
\\let\tabsav\tab\
\\def\tab#1#2{\tabsav{##1}{##2}\bsk}\
the PMX input may look nicer and more as used with tabdef.tex:
\tab40\ r4b \chotab40\chotab25\tab18\ rdb /
d44 d r8b //
r4b e45d zc+ /

PS: There can be vertical spacing problems because PMX does not know
of the 6-lines-staff. But this can be circumvented as usual
with e.g. "Ai..." or stealing \interstaff and doing the vertical
spacing "manually".
