There is no single, simple tutorial about the inline TeX commands. Their
definitions could be in TeX itself, musixtex.tex, or pmx.tex. You have access
to the latter two files on your own computer, and can look in them to search
for the definitions of the macros. Beyond that, you'd need to learn about the
basics of TeX. None of it is at all easy. The standard reference for TeX is
"The TeXbook" by Donald Knuth (the creator of TeX). For MusiXTeX the manual is
available from WIMA. There is no reference explaining most of the macros
defined in pmx.tex.

That one is easy, but I had to go through several steps to refresh my memory:
(1) look in the TeX file generated by PMX for the example, to see where and how
the two titles were printed out. (2) when I saw that the top title was the 4th
argument of the macro \titles, look in pmx.tex for the definition of \titles.
The 4th argument is preceded with a font designation \BIgtype.
So what you need to do is simply add \BIgtype right before the 2nd title entry
in the PMX file, i.e.,
\\\def\titel{\BIgtype Saabund on j\"{a}lle \"{o}\"{o}}
