M-Tx passes along everything that starts with a letter that it does not
understand.  Unfortunately, some PMX enhancements occur in things that
M-Tx understands the way it was.  M-Tx tries to extract the things it
needs and keep the rest intact, but this becomes harder and harder to do.

In the case of slurs, M-Tx had the ( ) syntax before PMX, which at
that stage did everything with s and t.  So it thinks it understands
those.  It needs to parse them for vocal music, to decide what to do
with melismas.  But it would be easy to let M-Tx pass those through in
instrumental music -- would that help?
