Andre, that works! I'll try to build it into pmx. I think I can just have PMX apply \loff to the \tbb*. I tested that on a TeX file and it worked. To be honest my feeble brain is having trouble wading through the logic of the re-definitions, but I think I can have PMX fix it without using any re-definitions.
One other comment: I was looking in Gardiner Read for info about this. It not real clear, but I think he's saying that for double beams, the tops should be the same height above their notes and stems don't lengthen, but then when you add a third beam, you add it on the far side from the notes, adding height to the top of the beam. That is NOT how MusixTeX beams work; every added beam lengthens the stems. Maybe I can put Read's rule in PMX as an optional default.
