OK, so this gets a bit internal - \zcharnote fundamentally uses \xg...@i -
this macro takes a note specification in #1 and puts a number into \...@i
(which is a \count declared by MusiXTeX). So the raise that you want is then
\...@i\internote (which is put into \...@i if you use the shorthand macro
\...@base).
I think (it's a while since I did any MusiXTeX hacking) that you can safely
use \xg...@i at any point (though as it involves assignments, it obviously
must be at the top level - i.e. not in an \edef) - MusiXTeX macros are
supposed to treat the result in \...@i as volatile (i.e. they use it as soon
as it's been set without risking a user macro getting in the way...)
You will need \makeatletter for that :o)
