All you need to do is change the allowable on-film deviation to suit.
1/30th of the focal length (1.2 mm in the 35 mm lens system) should
work for projection, and if you want to try twice as much for hand-
held viewing, then use 1/15th which is 2.3 mm.  On the maofd spreadsheet,
just insert 2.3 mm instead of 1.2 mm in the cell where it says "Max. 
allowable on-film deviation:"
