In actual fact, if you are switching from grade 2 to grade 1 by entering the code manually, then you need only use the [g1] code to switch to grade 1 braille. Likewise, when you want to switch back to Grade 2, you need only use the [g2] code to switch back to grade 2 braille. Personally, I think that the [tx] code is surplus to requirements and therefore is not necessary in the majority of cases. Put it this way, I do not use the [tx] code in addition to the [g1] or [g2] codes when switching from grade 1 or back to grade 2.
