Are you saying pmx 2.331 acts different from some other version when you try
to shift the treble clef? Please clarify.

Type-3 TeX strings are inserted just before the \pnotes... that starts the
PMX input block where they are input.

I believe you could do all of this more neatly with
\\let\pmxclefsav\pmxclef\
\\def\PCLN{\gdef\pmxclef##1##2{\loffset{.8}{\pmxclef##1##2}}\
\\global\let\pmxclef\pmxclefsav}}\
...

Comments:
1. You can't put "\PCLN\" right before "Ct" because--by the rules for type-1
TeX strings--it wouldn't be activated until just before "[u+4+11 f84 ..."
2. You don't need to "globalize" the definition of \PCLN\ since it's done
with type-2 strings, which are already global enough. You do need to
globalize the redefinition of \pmxclef because it doesn't work otherwise :-)
. This is a mystery to me. You may or may not need to globalize the \let
that restores the original definition...I didn't have the patience to do the
tests.
You also replaced the first solid notehead of the triplet with a half note
by using

Again, I just don't think this is good notation. I think you should leave it
the way you had it before, with two noteheads side-by-side. Aside from that,
the only reason it works here is that the upstem on the half note happens to
be *exactly* the right length to end at the beam.

I don't understand this. First, I don't understand why you need all those
accidentals in the first place. Is there a key signature that's been omitted
in the example? If so, then it must have a g-flat (since you have a
g-natural on the first beat of the example). But then it would also need a
d-flat, and you haven't put naturals on the d's, which would make for some
rather wierd harmony.
But more to the point, I don't understand the need for "fi". I never
intended it to be possible to enter more than one accidental on the same
note, so if "gnfi" does anything at all it's just an accident. But with
just "gn42x3" it sounds OK to me (the g's are naturals), and it sounds
exactly the same as with the "fi".
