Not unless this disentanglement happened centuries ago, which I don't 
think it did.

No later than the Mas'es Binyomin (1530-1620).   And it seems from his 
explanation that the "disentangled" versions did not yet exist, since 
his questioner can't make head or tail of the printed te'amim and he 
explains them one by one.
