I'll let one of the others handle the basic questions here. I want to
comment on
> 3) What means N\ or M\ or L\ or \Mordent or \Shakenw or \n in the passage:
As any experienced user knows, a construct like "\Mordent M\" is an in-line
TeX command. The "\"'s are delimiters that show the start and stop of the
inline TeX. My comment pertains to the use of a letter rather than a number
to refer to a pitch level. In short, for in-line TeX in PMX, it's not a very
good idea to use letters. They can change the octave register and PMX will
not know it and can get very confused. Here's an extreme example:
==============================================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0 1 2 20 0
t
.\
c44 D"Dangerous" b a g | \zqu{''g}\ c b a g /
c44 D"Safe" b a g | \zqu{16}\ c b a g /
==============================================
Now suppose you really had wanted the pitches as they come out in bar 2, and
thought you were taking into account the way TeX was going to change the
octave. As you can see, PMX is still confused about the default directions
of the stems; that's because it still thinks it's putting the notes much
lower. The moral of this story is: "Don't use letters for pitches in in-line
TeX." I know that you can't then easily transpose the resulting score. All I
can say about that is that I'm sorry, if you want that much flexibility,
then go spend $500 for Finale.
