Unpivoting multiple measures indefinitely repeated

Hi, I found several posts on how to unpivot in the most diverse situation, but not in this one.   I have a table like the below where the "Code", "Type" and "Score" triplets can be repeated...

    Hi,

    This M code works

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8nQxVNJRMjTSNTDWNTIwAnGcQISnXwiQNAFxjeBcYxDXGM41UorVAZlghNUEP0cgAdMP5xjDORC9xlj1ukZAzIfqhnBNYPohXFOl2FgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, #"Date Sent" = _t, Code1 = _t, Type1 = _t, Score1 = _t, Code2 = _t, Type2 = _t, Score2 = _t, Code3 = _t, Type3 = _t, Score3 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", type text}, {"Date Sent", type date}, {"Code1", type text}, {"Type1", type text}, {"Score1", Int64.Type}, {"Code2", type text}, {"Type2", type text}, {"Score2", Int64.Type}, {"Code3", type text}, {"Type3", type text}, {"Score3", Int64.Type}}),
        #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"ID", "Date Sent"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
        #"Split Column by Character Transition" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Unpivoted Other Columns", "Attribute", Splitter.SplitTextByCharacterTransition((c) => not List.Contains({"0".."9"}, c), {"0".."9"}), {"Attribute.1", "Attribute.2"}),
        #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Split Column by Character Transition", List.Distinct(#"Split Column by Character Transition"[Attribute.1]), "Attribute.1", "Value"),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Attribute.2"})
    in
        #"Removed Columns"

    Hope this helps.

    The headings of the source dataset should be
