I finally figured out that you’re asking about cue notes. Short answer: it’s
not easy. You have to use inline TeX. There are some macros in pmx.tex that
simplify some things a little bit:
\def\smno#1{\off{.17\qn@width}\tinynotesize#1\normalnotesize\off{-.17\qn@width}}%
\def\pmno#1{\roffset{.08}{\smallnotesize#1\normalnotesize}}%
\def\smq#1{\smno{\zql{#1}}}\def\smc#1{\smno{\zcl{#1}}}%
\def\smh#1{\smno{\zhl{#1}}}%
But you’re going to have to do some work to get horizontal spacing right for
your example, since while \smno makes the notes small, it uses the \noteskip
that’s already been set. Here’s a short example you should study, extracted
from my published edition of Nicola Matteis “Ayres for Violin, the Fourth Part”:

How could I do this in PMX?
Thanks
