Silly me, I couldn't let this rest, and started looking for ways to fool M-Tx into putting the right PMX code in the right places to get what Luigi wants without any post-editing. After many failed attempts, I did come up with something that sort of does it. But you may need to enter the source one bar at a time to get this to work. The basic idea is indeed to use MS ... M to get PMX to ignore some of the M-Tx-generated PMX code, but the devil is in the details:
