Hi Thomas, you can try group your pdfTeX typescripts in \beginOLDTEX ... \endOLDTEX and your LuaTeX typescripts in \beginLUATEX ... \endLUATEX groups, or you make two extra files--one for pdfTeX and one for LuaTeX--with the file type mkii and mkiv and load them in your typescript file with \loadmarkfile{type-...}. > 2.
