3. Is it possible to have a maxima with a stem up?

This gives you one but it still requires some vertical and horizontal position tweeking:

\input musixtex
\input rotate

\startextract
\NOtes\qu{abc}\zmaxima f\sk\qu{fg}\rotstart{180 rotate}\zmaxima f%
\rotfinish\sk\qu{ef}\en
\endextract
\end

This because no \musixchar gives you the character you want.

Does anyboy know if a \rostart on \musixchar36 in the definition of \zmaxima is simpler?

4. Why is the breve not included in the Shifted non-spacing note heads?
   It could be very useful when writing ligatures in 17th and 18th
   century gregorian chant. The result can be obtained with the
   offset-commands, but it takes more time and effort. I'm aware there
   could be a problem with the distances, since the breve note head is
   wider than others.

Can't you make a macro with \loffset{some space}{\zbreve}? Unlike with \loff you can adjust the offset.
