I can't actually think of an instance where I would need to have Legacy
decide between were/was because an Event Sentence nearly always uses
either a "single person word" such as he, she or name before the verb or
else has a "couple word" such as they or the couple's names.

Can you give an example of when you would want to use were or was,
depending on which was appropriate?

I think you might have to do it by using the conditional form -
If...then...else...
