.i «lu ma do prali lo nu do ponse lo tarci li'u»


How does this solve your problem?
It still doesn't properly indicate a speaker change and adds additional
words. I don't see any reason to prefer that to your other proposal.
If you want to indicate the speaker change, you should do it properly with something
like {sei ny cusku} and that would add a bulk of text not present in the original.
It solves the problem to the extent that we now know where each quote begins and ends, which was not possible before. Adding extra information like {sei ny cusku} is rather out of the question. 


a)
.i lo nolraitru cu ponse nagi'e turni .i mutce frica
.i ma do prali lo nu do ponse lo tarci

(that is, no indication of speaker change whatsoever)


I agree with iesk here: If you write down a stream of spoken text,
you should also include voice hints:

<serious low-pitched voice> .i lo nolraitru cu ponse nagi'e turni .i mutce frica
<ignorant child voice> .i ma do prali lonu do ponse lo tarci

Now, there _is_ an indication of speaker change.


It is, but it's not Lojban. Text and speech is supposed to match.
