I'm not an M-Tx user and did not succeed in getting any part of the
(incomplete) example to compile.

But in PMX, you can start out with a block of input in the meter of the
pickup bar, specified for example as 1 4 3 4 (so the "3/4" prints out as the
meter), then start a brand new input block with a "blind" meter change
m3/4/0/0 and do the rest of the piece. I suspect something similar might
work in M-Tx.

I'm surprised though that your pickup worked at all without explicitly
telling M-Tx about it.

It would be a lot easier to diagnose your problem if you included an excerpt
of the source that would compile.
