Up to now unbeamed xtuplets haven't been possible in PMX for notes with
flags.  They will be in the next release...it was pretty easy to program, if
all notes in the xtup are to be unbeamed.  I'll have to think about letting
some be beamed and some not (within the same xtuplet), but don't hold your
breath on that one.

For all notes unbeamed, in PMX you could try some in-line TeX along this
line:
====================================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 0
1 1 20 0

t
./
%
% Need to process 2nd arg of \ibu in a "do-nothing" way to get octaves
right.
% "\global" is needed since restoration will occur within \notes group and
must be
%     communicated outside.
%
\\\let\ibut\ibu\def\ibu#1#2#3{\zcharnote{#2}{~1}\global\let\ibu\ibut}\
\\\let\tbut\tbu\def\tbu#1{\global\let\tbu\tbut}\
\\\let\qbt\qb\def\qb#1#2{\cu{#2}}\
r4 g44x3 a b r2 /
%
% Since \qb was used more than once in the sequence, could not
%   restore it in original re-definition, so do it now.
%
\\\let\qb\qbt\
r4 g44x3 a b r2 /
=====================================

To get one note unbeamed and the two beamed, I suggest exploiting the
combination "r4x3 c d", replacing the rest with the unbeamed note using
in-line TeX. For the opposite, you can't use that trick because PMX won't
let you have a rest as the last member of an xtuplet, but you should still
be able to use a little more elaborate in-line TeX to do it. I'll leave the
details, as well as putting in a bracket, as
"exercises for the reader."  Sorry, I'm not quite sure how to do this in
M-Tx.
