    I want to add a line of text in the middle of a score as an explanatory note for the next section.
    At PA(hr)ter
    I have tried PA(hr[Alt:heading])ter
    and PA(hr)[Alt:heading]ter
    and PA(hr<alt>heading<alt>)ter

    They all give me Latex errors. How can that be done, please?

    Your last one is close, but put it outside the parentheses (and don't forget the slash on the second one) and before the syllable you want it above:

    <alt>heading</alt>PA(hr)ter(h)

    Thank you Charles! Would you also know how to get a tie over two notes to help new readers recognise that two successive neumes the same (gg) mean a longer note? The notation in the help doc [ob:0{](gg)[ob:0}] also gives errors.

    It would be in between the parentheses if anything.

    Stuff outside of parentheses is text: words and other symbols, unless it’s between tags as is the case with this form of alt.
