Hi Margaret,
On the grounds of cell count, as before. 3 is shorter than 5, and it also gives
a consistent rendering.
Hope this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Hi James
Thanks especially for pointing out 8.8!
Why do you say that Duxbury is "definitely correct" for the way A, B, C is
capitalised if three entities are considered a passage?

Hello Margaret,
For the first string, A, B, C, Duxbury is definitely correct, each letter
should have its own capital sign (and grade 1 indicators where appropriate).
The second string, A, B, C, D, I would again use individual capital indicators.
Duxbury is technically correct in using a passage, but it is longer in cell
count, so individual capital letter signs is also fine.
Chapter 8 in RUEB is the section of capitals, section 8.8 deals with choice of
indicators.
I trust this helps.
With best regards,
James.

Greetings!
Please can you guide me to the appropriate rule in the UEB Rule Book??
We have a string of letters which are all capitalised.
A, B, C
And
A, B, C, D
When put through Duxbury, a single capital sign is used in front of each letter
for A, B, C
But
Three cap signs appear in front of A, B, C, D
Is this correct? If so, why would you not use the capital passage sign for the
A, B, C as well as the A, B, C, D?
Looking forward to your enlightenment!
Margaret
