Thank you all so very much for helping me with my question - and special thanks to all the proposers of those clever solutions. The final one provided by Jean Abou Samra seems to work wonderfully well (at least in v 2.24.2, which is what I'm using). So I'm going to use it! I can only concur with Kieren's comment about "getting us to the next level".
Of course I could avoid all of this by simply writing the music in such a way that no such tempo change is needed, but given the nature and provenance of the music I'm aiming to keep the original note values. Again my most heartfelt thanks.
