Thanks to Dirk, Jean-Pierre, and Bob for explaining \raisevolta. On the end-of-line question, I never considered this combination of events at a line break, so PMX really has no "intended" behavior...frankly I'm surprised (and happy) that the TeX code worked at all! And I'm not sure what a purist typesetter would want here (does anyone else know for sure?). If it's different than what did come out, unfortunately to change things around with inline TeX could get very complicated. But if all want is to add a number 2 above the staff at the start of the new line, you could do that easily within PMX with a dynamics command something like D"\elevenrm 2."+18-4 after the first note in the second line.
