In PMX, this is very easy. If the original score in E flat is

===========================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 -3
1 1 20 0

t
.\
Ar
e44 f g a b c d e /
===========================

then to transpose to E major you only need to add one line:

===========================
1 1 4 4 4 4 0 -3
1 1 20 0

t
.\
Ar
K-0+4
e44 f g a b c d e /
===========================

The transposition is handled internally in PMX and does not use \transpose,
regardless of how far you are transposing.
