Did not know there was a PAR forum here...
Well you may want to check this listing people at SMS Power made:
www.smspower.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6575
It is a listing of memory location that are used by sound engines to trigger music/sound effect. Using this with a PAR you can change music in many games. Some games also have secret/unused music that you can play using this technique.
For exemple in Psycho Fox the title theme is cut during title screen, but using this technique you can play the title theme during a level and hear it entirely. Alex Kidd in Shinobi World has unused music, etc.
Taking an exemple from the link above:
DE03 is the address.
Writing a value after 80 at this address trigger some music/sound effect.
PAR codes are coded as following:
00aaaabb
Where 'aaaa' is to be replaced by address and 'bb' by the value to write.
In other word, in After Burner, the following codes will change music:
00DE0381
00DE0382
00DE0383
00DE0384
etc..
This one will trigger "Get Ready!" sample:
00DE0393
etc..
Hope this is clear. This is theory, I haven't tried with a PAR but it should work. You should probably enable the PAR for a second then disable it for the music to play, else the music may keep restarting.

After Burner (SMS) DE03 80+ Marc Klemp
$81-$86 triggers music.
$87-$91 triggers sound effects.
$93 triggers the sample "Get Ready!". DE03 is the address.
