There comes a point, in the use of any software tool, where clever
exploits become indictments against the constraints of what is
available rather solutions to a problem. This example seems to reach
that point. It will be totally unreadable even to the author later
(speaking for myself here, André has MusiXTeX at his fingertips).

Suggestion: define a TeX macro upfront with a self-documenting name
and in the score itself, use only that macro.
