remember that you may use most of the pmx commands including the chord
notes prefixed with z. Combined with pmx labeled slurs/ties you have a
reasonable method for temporarily entering chords including ties. In bar
10 this could be done:

Simply add a space clause in an M-Tx paragraph of its own, for example: 

space: 10 2
