the expression \let\upzt\upz creates a macro \upzt as a copy of the
macro \upz (see MusiXTeX manual 2.17.4). This copy is useful if you want
to temporarily redefine \upz and then restore the original definition
afterwards, i.e. \let\upz\upzt

musix20 is the name of one of the MusiXteX fonts. A TeX utility
testfont.tex lets you inspect the contents of a font like musix20. You
launch testfont.tex by saying
tex testfont
at the first promt 'Name of the font to test =' say
musix20
at the next prompt '*' say
\table
and at the next prompt say
\bye
Now you have a file testfont.dvi with all symbols of the font arranged
in a table the cells of which are indexed by octal numbers. In
testfont.dvi reflecting musix20 you'll find a raised point in cell
number 24 (decimal) which is probably what is reflected in the below
definition from musixtex.tex
\def\upz{\n@iv\@xxiv \uacc@Char}
Bye
