In 2017, Olivier Vogel made a coda.pmx file.
It shows a method to make blank at the end of a staff (bar32) and also at the 
beginning (bar33).

Subject: [Tex-music] Line-length challenge for the TeXperts

Can anyone come up with a cleaner way to shorten a single line…not necessarily 
the last one on the page…in PMX (without trial and error)? If so I may 
incorporate it into PMX.

OK, here's an example of one way to create a blank space at the end of a line 
and then put some text in it. Since you need to tailor the width of the white 
rectangle by trial and error, this would be tedious if you had to do it more 
than once or twice, but it does work, without requiring any changes to the 
basic page layout or staff widths. Let me know if you have any questions.
