You can prevent the printing of the memo for each of the witnesses by
opening the witness sentence, and typing at the end, <[M0]> (that's
"em-zero", not "em-oh"). But you will still get two copies of the memo, one
for each of the principals. There may be a way of preventing one of these
two copies using roles, but I don't use roles, so I can't really advise you.

One alternative is to make one of the principals a witness, again following
the witness sentence with <[M0]>. The memo will then print out for the sole
principal; and something else will print out for each of the witnesses.

Hope these thoughts will help.
