Diane--
When I finally finished my response on the second try, I did get to that
question. Just in case you didn't notice,
"4. The only time PMX messes with the horizontal alignment is when a figure
comes offset in time from any bass note. To do this, use e.g.
\off{.5\noteskip}\Figu03\off{-.5\noteskip} . You might also be able to use
\hoffset, but there must have been some good reason I can't remember why I
didn't use that in PMX."
And by the way, when you use any of these commands (or sequences of
commands, as above) as type 1 inline TeX, they act like non-spacing
commands, and they must be entered BEFORE the relevant note in the PMX file.
And of course, I strongly discourage ever post-editing the TeX file.
