With great thanks to Bob, Andre, and Olivier, I've figured out how to get a
shorter line in a much more satisfying way than drawing a white box to
create a blank. Of course if my example below went further on, I'd need to
restore the definition of \alaligne. And other changes would be needed for a
mid-line blank. Now that I understand these techniques better I'll think
about incorporating them directly into PMX, where in response to new PMX
commands I could do it directly (like in Bob's example) rather than
redefining \alaligne.
