Hi Daniel, I'm glad I could help.

This is difficult for me to say, partly because I don't use %solve,
partly because I think that the output of %solve is a little difficult
to manipulate. However, to my mind, it should be possible to handle most
cases programmatically.
If you could give the list an example where the solution involves arbitary
parameters, maybe someone could pipe in.
