You had me going for a while.  This is definitely a feature, not a bug.  The
stuff you added to the noteedit-generated output made the line longer than
128 characters, and PMX rightfully got confused. For now, just putting in a
carriage return solves the problem.

As to the heights PMX chose for the beams, it is based only on the main
notes and ignores the chord notes.  I assigned this upgrade to my
programming assistant, but I haven't seen him for quite a while :-)

Joerg, could you consider modifying the format of the PMX export?  That
would help avoid problems like this in the future.  IMHO it would be easier
to edit if each new measure were on a separate line, and if you really want
to make it user-friendly, indent by a few spaces each line after the first
in each voice in the input block, e.g.,

%
% Bar 6-8
%
Voice 1 bar 6 |
  Voice 1 bar 7 |
  Voice 1 bar 8 /
Voice 2 bar 6 |
  Voice 2 bar 7 |
  Voice 2 bar 8 /
