  And (as you have implied) the easiest way to do that in III+ is,
 F5, "se /", Alt-F9, [choose "ASCII", then "Special", then pick out
the
musical note and hit Enter, then Esc-Esc-Esc to exit Help]; then finish
filling in the search command (with the added nuisance, at least under
3.57, of having to remove a superfluous blank-space from the code(s)
supplied by Help.)
  Whew - a pretty significant exception to XyWrite's customary economy of
keystrokes.

  Every time I do it, I think "there *must* be a more streamlined way to
insert CR-only (or LF-only, for that matter) on the III+ command line?"
The usual Ctl-Alt-(enter the numeric code) , which wrks just fine if
searching for the form-feed (Ascii 12) has a very different effect if you
enter Ctl-Alt "10" - it produces " 0A", i.e. the hex-equivalent, preceded
by a blank.
