Greetings Matthew
Thanks for the info about the [nr] code.
Unfortunately, as the rules of UEB state that the poetry line sign must be
unspaced from the last word of the poetic line, this doesn't solve the problem.
I have been in touch with George as well as presenting this to the list, so
hopefully we'll come up with a workable answer.
Fingers crossed!
Thanks again, though, as I was unaware of this code.

Hi Margaret,
The DBT code for this is [nr]. However, it too affects contractions in the word
either side unless a space is inserted before and after, which is not
desirable. I am not sure whether George or any DBT developers are on this list
- if you are and you would like steps to reproduce the "problem", try
translating
your[nr]yours
and
your [nr] yours
and observe the results.
I am not sure whether this is due to a bug in DBT or an oversight (or
presumably an oversight, anyway) in the UEB rules. I am on holiday at the
moment but I will check the rulebook when I get back to school if no one else
gets there first!

Greetings UEB Duxbury Users
I am trying to put a poetry line sign (dots 4-5-6) into a document to represent
poetry in a linear format.
How are you inserting the poetry line sign into your documents?
If I insert the code manually (using q~), this affects the contraction of the
word next to it (eg "friend" becomes friENd).
Anyone know of a way around this?
Appreciation in advance.
Margaret
